Old Government House

This Lady spent an afternoon leisurely enjoying a glass of good white and a civilised BBQ in the lawns of OLD GOVERNMENT HOUSE at Parramatta SYDNEY last Saturday. Very swanky indeed.
This is one of the oldest homes left in Sydney- circa late 1790's and I am sure the walls would have many a story to tell about the good old days of the colonies when convicts were chained in leg irons and flogged to do the bidding of the Governor.
We took part in a ghost tour of the home after being served a most wonderful lunch and heard the stories of the souls that still seem to haunt this building -strangely still there even though many are buried overseas.

It was a totally wonderful way to spend a glorious afternoon out and I had a most brilliant time.
Of course I immediately felt at home on the property and could pciture myself strolling through the gardens back in the 1800s as a Lady would be want to do.
Ah for those halcyon days when someone else would do the washing and tend the garden!!
