A fisheye view

My husband took me on an impromptu drive this morning after we dropped the kids at school. We are hoping to move out somewhere more rural, so went for a little look. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me, only my iPhone. We drove through so beautiful country side.

We stopped back at Paterson for a coffee and scones. Best scones I have had in ages!!! Riverside Deck Cafe if anyone is traveling that way.
