The sunlight was just hitting the top of the trees – the garden was surrounded by bush.

But it was still very frosty on ground level after below zero temperatures overnight.

The property also had a private 9-hole golf course on-site. Hubby had a go at a few holes at the end of the day, and even convinced me to swing a club. Bridie meanwhile had more fun running around the course – she must caught the scent of some roos.
