After we left the hospital, we drove out to the other side of town to a beautiful home that belonged to Sandra, a lovely woman who provided the most delicious and healthful lunch to seven of us who thoroughly enjoyed her very warm hospitality.
Her home was like a little patch of paradise on acreage. Tall ghost gums among other tall trees that created the most beautiful miniature forest on her front lawn. It was a haven for all sorts of singing birds, and the colours of Autumn were beginning to show themselves.

A kitchen that anyone would die for, with a giant island bench, masses of storage space, a huge walk-in pantry and top quality appliances including a commercial size gas stove and oven.
Lots of windows to look out into the beautiful garden and to allow all of that glorious filtered light inside.
A very wide verandah that wrapped three quarters of the way around the house that looked out over green lawns and down to a small dam that housed a mini jetty. So serene and so pretty.

Sandra was a brilliant hostess and then kindly allowed me to wander around the grounds with my camera to capture some of the beauty that surrounds her.
I had a lovely time and so far, today goes on my 'top ten' list for my holiday.
How nice it is to finish this post at a reasonable hour!
After a wonderful lunch in paradise, I also get an early night to catch up on some sleep ... what a lucky day for me :D
Nite all.
