I had a wonderful stay at Spencer's and didn't want to leave. He's an exceptional host. I really appreciated the little kindnesses he extends: the loan of a public transport card; breakfast supplies; a little treat left in the guest refrigerator for me.
Oscar is the sweetest old dog, I fell in love with him and I miss him.
The fruit and vege store next door to Fraser's apartment complex is a gem and I enjoyed cheap, delicious Rockmelon and more than one late night $3 Dim Sum supper. Handy having the IGA and the gas station so close, too.
I loved walking around Redfern and couldn't believe the profusion of cafes with seriously good coffee + sandwich type deals. Also had a stroll to the outlet stores about 10 mins away, which was fun. Fab hairdresser (Sahyoun) just up to road from Spencer's, to boot.
I didn't take the train but can see it would have been a doddle, a close and pleasant walk.
Thank you Spencer and Oscar.
