A Beautiful Autumn Break......

We took a quick overnight  break down to our holiday place on the weekend and went with a group of friends to a local winery for lunch....Waratah Hill (near Fish Creek)...can't believe we have never discovered this little gem in the 6 years we have been holidaying only 10 minutes away....the sky was overcast but every now and then the sun made a quick appearance before slipping away again.....the scenery was spectacular....South Gippsland's rolling hills, already green and lush after the scorch of summer.....it was Autumn at its best.

The beautiful rolling hills are an amazing backdrop for this boutique winery....
Shared Mezzo platters and.local wines..,the sparkling was my favourite...not much of a wine connoisseur I'm afraid.
Daisy taking a sunny nap on the back of the couch....I felt I could use one of these after lunch !!

It was so nice to get away ...even if it was just overnight .......with all of the fighting and troubles  overseas.....it makes you appreciate how lucky we are to live here...we should all take every opportunity to enjoy life....the simpler the better....good friends, good food....good times.
