We are now well and truly ensconced in Wodonga, and as
always have thrown out the welcome mat for any friends and family venturing
through this part of the world. We are close to the mountains, with Falls Creek
Ski-field only 100 km from us. Other attractions include the historic villages
(think Beechworth, Stanley, Yackandandah and Rutherglen) and the brilliant local wine
regions.
We have also been particularly taken with the quality of the
produce here. It is so much better than what we have had access to for the last
couple of years, and the prices are good. We frequent farmer’s markets where we
can, and I do regular happy dances! So far this year, we have made black
currant jam (I will leave some for Dad – both of them!), apricot jam, kumquat marmalade
and brandy, and I am looking forward to partaking in some traditional Italian
sausage making classes while we are down here.
We are aware that winter will be cold, but that is what
clothes, and proper layering is for. I would far rather put clothes on to get
warm, than take them off, as there is only so much you can take off without
getting arrested!
