Every few Christmases we are in South West Rocks at my in-laws house. SWR is a great little town that hasn’t been overwhelmed with development over the past 30 years.
It still has many of the traditional post war “fibro” houses right near town. There has been an uptick in new housing but most of it is further west on the outskirts of town closer to Jerseyville.
Every morning I’d go for an early walk to grab a coffee from the best cafe in SWR and go drink it just watching the ocean from Horseshoe Bay in town.
Went for the same walk Christmas morning with no expectation the cafe would be open, but walking into town I saw a few people with takeaway cups and thought could that be…. On Xmas… ?
And sure enough the cafe was open! On Christmas!! Sure enough it was significantly more than usual, not that I cared, awesome coffee on Christmas!! Santa has delivered ! It’s a Festivus Miracle!
Just before Xmas, I purchased a drone. Pic below is from that. Had been thinking of getting one for a while, but after visiting a friend in the Hunter Valley region who has one, the deal was sealed. Will be great for our upcoming trip to NZ.
It's all about the coffee
