What a fun day! We got to spend a lovely afternoon with LOTS of yummy nibbly foods, a few too many glasses of wine, and having a laugh with old friends and a couple of new ones.

We are leaving here tomorrow on our way north. Spent a week here at Avoka Farm Stay & it's been a great spot. Such friendly people. Even let me win when playing cards. Lots of animals to see & feed. If you're coming this way I can recommend it.
