On Boxing Day morning Mum and I headed to Junee. We went up Burley Griffin Way (primarily to avoid the craziness of the Hume Highway) via Harden to Cootamundra then down. This worked well - much much less traffic and crazy people - and quite a pretty drive.
Arrived at lunch time, so dumped all our stuff then headed into town to the Commercial Hotel for lunch. I had the southern fried chicken special which was quite nice.
And I finally got to meet Kellie!
After lunch we went to the Junee Licorice and Chocolate Factory. I'd been there once, the first time I ever visited David in Junee, but that day he was running late to have lunch before work, so we only dropped in for a few minutes. So this time we had a wander around to look at the hall and the machines and the gift shop.
Headed back to David's to drop off our chocolate purchases. Snapped a photo of some of his roses while I was waiting for other people to get organised.
Then we went over to Peter Neve's to say hi. I was last there in June 2019 by the looks of it. Last time I was there, the pit was still under construction.
Then we all headed back to David's to crash and drink a whole lot of water. David cleared the dining table and we played four rounds of Rummy-O, and we all won one each, then a game of Five Crowns, which I won. And David may have made pancakes for dinner.
