Today we set off for a visit to see my old friend, Faz, and his family. Atherton is about an hour and a half from Cairns. We went up the Gillies highway, which was very steep and windy. We stopped en route at the Shaylee strawberry farm and picked up a couple of large punnets of the biggest, sweetest strawberries I've ever seen. We duly arrived at Faz's home. As usual, we got a huge warm welcome - a spread of home made sausage rolls, cake, chocolate biscuits, ham & cheese and of course some tea. Caught up with his mum and sister and reminisced. Faz is one of my adopted sons from way back.
We left at about 1 and went via Mareeba and stopped by Coffee Works for some lunch. Delicious coffee! Enjoyed it very much. We bought some coffee and chocolate on our way out.
We drove home leisurely and arrived ready to uncork afternoon tea. After a couple of glasses of wine over a game of up and down the river. Then had a fun time with the kids in the yard with their Nerf guns. Followed by a couple of refreshing Irish whiskeys. Then Emmy's family came around for dinner. And finished the night with a shot of Baileys!
