We spent the day visiting the War Museum

it was a long and tiring day viewing all the detailed displays…

we moved on again yesterday, stopped in Yass for morning coffee and hubby noticed there was a fabric store having a 30% off sale..

as hubby likes to go the back roads and avoid lots of traffic we do find some treasures……

    I'll bet you will be glad to get home, but I am sure it has been an amazing trip. It sounds like your husband is an enabler if he is mentioning a fabric shop! Mine would probably run in the other direction. ;-)

    hubby is very well trained! Fabric! Licorice! Bakery! That should help compensate for doing laundry. :-)

    Zero degrees isn't that cold! lol What a sweetie your hubby is to point out a quilt shop sale ;) What a fab cake, I'd be torn- desperate to eat, and yet feeling terrible to mess it up ;) Bring on those back road treasures :)
