sunday family drive to bilpin. what a lovely day. the sky was blue, the air crisp and clear. which rivaled the crispness of the champagne granny smith apples on offer, which are granny smith's that have gone through a few frosts, making them sweeter.
and as an aside, did y'all know that granny smith apples originated in australia? tis a true fact.
bilpin and surrounds are in the blue mountains, and its cooler climate and country life lends well to incredibly fresh produce (of which i bought a lot, think organic farmer's market) and leisurely lunches by a fireplace overlooking green rolling valleys below.
and for us, it was especially nice as our mother had her first outing in months and even a bit of an appetite to eat a bit of a delicious rump steak, bilpin grown at the apple bar.
it is only an hour's drive from sydney and along bells line of road, make sure to roll down your windows, turn off the music and listen for the totally unique sound of the bell bird.
