During the renovations we took time out to revisit the South Coast and had a fantastic time... did I put our trip in the blog? No. Why ? Who knows.
Our friend Janneke is moving to the far South Coast next year and they have bought a wonderful house in Tilba. She was so generous to go and let us stay there to escape the dust, noise and dirt of the reno.
It also had a B & B, corner shop, little garage and garrulous owner who spent all the time telling us how successful each of his businesses were ... and then tried to sell them to us!
Love to see what people have for sale on local ads....Food Share? Reminds me of the days when we would buy in bulk from the wholesale markets and then divi it all up! My goodness that started well... but you did have to accept whatever anyone bought ... and how many. I seem to remember getting 10 Kilos of Aubergines for $2! Sparked some creative recipes.
The harbour at Narooma had a surprise for us. Fishermen were cleaning their catch and below them stingrays, cormorants and pelican squabbled only to flea when seals came in for a feed.
Ruefully we left beautiful Tilba to join up with the cycling group at Shoalhaven Heads. What a great time. Loved singing with Judy.
And... the nostalgic trip to Jervis Bay & Greenpatch... spent so many holidays camping there.
Finally time to head home but we had a couple of days on a wonderful horse farm at Woollemia near Huskisson. Bliss Autumn has finally arrived and we could enjoy the cool weather.

It was a great spot to explore and to finish off the final draft of "I Can"
The weather was beautiful and we walked, and cycled and took trips each day. First stop Tilba itself. A One-street town with pub, Cheese Factory, coffee shops, book and craft shops. Really quaint.

The area around Tilba is stunning and at this time of year, we really had the place to ourselves. 
Narooma is a typical town with its spread of service shops... fabulous junk/charity shops that had quirky porcelain - great for mosaics... and everything else. Someone had obviously put their finds to good use and made this for the Tilba Teashop!
