This gate is the entrance to a marvellous paddock that features my favourite Moreton Bay Fig tree.
Walk past the tree and there are acres of grass, surrounded by rainforest. It is beautiful on a clear, sunny autumn’s day.
I like to take a picnic blanket and lie down on the tall, soft grass, soak up the sun, and listen to the cicadas and crickets.
I received a little sketch book for my birthday and have been making gradual use of it since. It’s been half a lifetime since I took up a pencil (or a brush for that matter) so this foray into drawing has been a long time coming.
The sketch book came in handy during my recent visits to Jamberoo. I happily wiled away the time sketching in between walks and visits to the Abbey itself. I had forgotten how relaxing it can be. It is a meditation in itself.
