Easter Saturday

Today we decided to go for a drive to lovely Morpeth, an historical town near Maitland.  I had heard a lot of people talk about it so we packed up the car early in the morning and drove up there for a little adventure.

Tim and I often used to go for drives on the weekend to little country towns and so forth but we haven't done lot of it since having Ella.  Now that she's a little bit bigger and easier to get around with it's nice to get out of the house more and get back to doing what we love together.

Morpeth is so lovely and quaint, with old sandstone buildings and uneven cobblestone paths (cute but not good when you have a pram!).




We meandered through all the little lane ways looking at the Antique stores, boutique food stores, old clothing stores and little cafe's.



I fell in love with all the little old houses and dreamed of one day living in one just like this with a lovely verandah out the front and cottage style garden.


We had  lunch at a lovely little French cafe

 

Twice people said what a cute little 'boy' we had!



Instead of driving back home along the freeway we decided to go on an alternative route through the wineries of Hunter Valley along the Putty Road.  The scenery was lovely.  I always feel at my best when I am in the country side.  I'm not sure what it is... 


Someone fell asleep from the big day!  She was a great traveller.
