Seniors Day Out - SDO
SENIORS DAY OUT - Ayrilies Garden
Last week we had a fabulous time traveling to Whitford, Auckland where we first had a delicious lunch at The Lime Tree Cafe, salt and pepper squid, phyllo parcels, chowder and so much more.
We then travelled a short way up the road to the world-famous Ayrlies Garden where we were given a warm welcome by our host Luana before taking a relaxed stroll through the gardens filled with beautiful water features, stretching lawns, and gardens brimming with familiar and unfamilar plants.
To finish off the trim it was ice cream in a cone as we came back into Silverdale.
I look forward to our next trip in April.
