It was Christmas in July at Wartook and Priscilla and I were invited to join the festivities at the Wartook Pottery. Set in an idyllic setting it was not especially wintery even by Australian standards. It was cold outside but the skies were clear blue and everyone was filled with joy. Here you can see Priscilla with Heather, Jenny and Margaret and two new friends, a big angel and a cute little Dionysian figure who wrapped an arm around her waist and snuggled up by the blazing fire.

We had a traditional Christmas lunch with plum pudding, hard sauce and all the other trimmings. Christmas in July is a joy. There are none of the expenses or stresses. Santa came with lollies for everyone and fun was had by all.

Priscilla Meets The Stone People

Priscilla and I went out in to the garden of the Stone People, sat within their temple and communed with the Guardian of Gariwerd. We soaked in the sheer beauty, listened to the bird people flying through the garden, watched the dainty blue wrens dancing and, upon their advice, sat still and simply savored the moment.
