We arrived home a few days ago, just in time for a light dusting of snow overnight. Today it's a lovely sunny day so hopefully the winter weather is over for the year.
The trip away was great, so relaxing. We visited Moree again where we saw a beautiful quilt made by Moree Quilters group in 2001 for the Federation Centenary. It features various aspects of life in Moree.
There was a brightly coloured 'yarn bombed' tree near the sewing shop.
and on our morning walks we saw the colourful murals painted around town, this is just two of many...
We also went up to Warwick and Texas, just over the border in Queensland where the weather really was perfect and the roads were much better than in NSW. We visited a few National Parks for some bushwalking including the Queen Mary Falls which was a good workout for the legs climbing down and back up all those steps. It was nice to just stop where we felt like it and most days we had a picnic lunch somewhere along the way. It was great to see everywhere so green with all the dams and rivers full as we go into the warmer weather.
Now I'm back home I'm about to sort through my orange scraps for RSC, I have already cut some and then I'm meeting a friend for lunch. I'm hoping to start work on our bathroom next week, not a full renovation but a 'refresh' on a budget. I'm looking forward to creating some new retirement routines and housework habits as we go into spring.

Was this still part of your long trip? In another month, we'll be thinking fall then winter. You'll be greening up.
No, we were at home for a few weeks after our first trip and then DH decided to have another week away and go to the beach & back to the hot springs. We have another trip planned for November.
Sounds like a nice trip.
There is always so much to see while travelling around. The snow would have been a nasty shock after being in warmer areas. Have fun playing with orange.
Its nice to see new places and drive through all the different landscapes.
Oh yes, we're back in our winter woolies lol!
