I travelled north to enjoy warmer weather in northern NSW during Sydney's Winter. I broke up my trip by staying in Pauline's place. My experience was warm in more ways than one by virtue of her outstanding hospitality. Her pet dog Dixie added to the quality of my stay by giving it a homely experience. As her place was only a few minutes walk to the local supermarket, shopping for my groceries was so easy. As I like to read in the sun, I relished the very private outdoor area where Pauline provided a very comfy chair. The bed was the most comfortable one I have ever slept in and the shower was also amazing, for by virtue of the huge diameter of its shower rose, I felt fully immersed in a sensational blancket of water as if I was under the summer rain. To top it off, Pauline went out of her way to provide a nutitious breakfast. As I am allergic to milk, she even went to the supermarket to purchase some non-dairy milk for my cereal!
