The Southlands

The drive was very enjoyable with the sun bathed rolling hills and landscape full of agricultural production. Late afternoon found us at G & J2's farm. It was a wonderful reunion for A and J2 as they haven't visited since 2012 in Australia! G prepared an amazing lamb dinner with fresh root veggies from the garden. The lamb was raised right there too! Two other friends of theirs were staying and we all had a great visit. C shared yummy French cheeses and some apparatif liquor reminding him of his home in France.

The following morning after a tour around the farm, and feeding the animals we had the freshly roasted coffee and bagels we brought from Dunedin. Quite a strong roast with caffeine vibes! We all piled into their SUV for our afternoon adventure: a drive through Riverton seaside town, along the costal road where we stopped at Cozy Cove, Gemstone beach, and then back to the farm.

As the weather was sunny and warm on this first day of Fall, G decided it would be fun to have pizza out in the shed. Nothing beats cooking in the wood-fired oven! 🍕😋Eventually we retired to the living room as night descended since the weather became a bit breezy and cool.

It was a wonderful two day visit which we'll cherish 💕 with fond memories 😊もっと詳しく
