Fiddlin' at Gidgegannup

 Went up into the hills with Charlie on Sunday to the lovely Lake Charlotte winery and restaurant. He spent a couple of hours fiddlin' to entertain the picnicers by the lake while I relaxed and chatted with the locals. At this stage of the year, at the end of a long, hot summer, the land in the hills is brown and arid. Surprising then, to see such a beautiful lake in the middle of it all.
The restaurant is really lovely, set out over the lake. Nice menu too, including a hot stone dish where your main dish is served on a sizzling hot stone. We had one of those meals in Singapore on one of our trips once!
It was a cloudy day - a nice change from the perma-sun! Rain was forecast but none came!
