Every winter you see a few blog posts of our stitching days up the mountain, and this year will be no exception.
For seven months of the year it's just too hot to spend the day sewing up there (no air-conditioning you see, and here in the tropics that makes it very hot) so we make the most of it from May-September. This was our first trip to the Heritage Tea Rooms on Hervey's Range for 2015, and it was just as beautiful - maybe more so - as we remembered....
Heather and Barb had arrived first so they had set up in 'our' room (because we always sew and laugh and feast in that room!), then Blossom and I drove in just ten minutes before Wendy...
We ordered breakfast and while the girls chatted I took a little wander with my camera.
This homestead is very old, built in 1865, and the current owners have left much of the old world charm on display or in use for patrons...

We took tea...
...and tasted good old fashioned sweeties...
...in between laughing...
...and teasing...
...serious conversations...
...and sewing.
(Barb had packed up her stitching before I took my stitching pics, but she was sewing a "Sparrow"block just like Blossom - two wonderful young ladies supporting Sparrow Ministries)
It was wonderful to have Blossom with us for a Friday sewing date. We all had the day off work together this time...
While we were in such a pretty place I asked the girls (Barb and Blossom) if they'd hold up my new quilt top so I could get a nice outdoors photo.
Well, they really are crazy (second cousins twice removed and the same nutty sense of humour) so decided they'd hold the corners in their teeth!
You know, their joy was infectious and that really brought home to me every word displayed in the quilt.
Hope, bless, love, dream, laugh, cherish.
Heather and I are blessed to call these young women our daughters. xx
Too soon the day was over, and it was time to pack up...
What a precious time we had.
Saying goodbye tends to bring more laughter...
...before footsteps slow to delay the final goodbyes.
Even the best of days draw to a close.
Until next time...one last look back...
I find it very precious to be behind the camera and recording these moments with the people I love.
hugs
