holiday adventures
My end of my holidays is fast approaching. Monday it’s back to work.
Yesterday we had the most wonderful of adventure days. We drove to Mt Tomah, the cold climate part of the Botanic Gardens on the Lithgow side of the Blue Mountians. It was beautiful. Seems we did a world tour of vegetation and flora. We began amongst the trees of North America (my favourite) and headed through the plant life of Australia, Africa, South America, East Asia and a landscaped formal garden of Europe. It felt very adventurous. I love doing a drive out of Sydney and experience lots of green open spaces. It’s good for the soul. We bought a tray of nectarines, freshly picked that day from an orchid in Bilpin. Oh yeah.
Then it was off to a Sydney Festival dance work with Jen. The piece was called Construct by Tanja Liedtke (the to be Sydney Dance co director who passed away a few months ago). It was an amazing work of art. Filled with comedy, commentary, character and story. I loved it. It gave me faith again in the world of contemporary dance. It connected. Not all contemporary dance does. And the audience loved it. I’m inspired.
