If it isn't Teddy and Milo giving him moon eyes when he eats, it's his wife too. We are told that people love them so much that they also order it for dessert. This lobster roll features wonderfully tender lobster mixed with mayonnaise and sprinkled with sparkling gold fennel pollen and dill. I am silently willing him to give it to me and I've already polished off my own. My eyes dart back and forth as I watch Mr NQN take his first bite of his toasted lobster roll. We take a seat at the table outside at Small Town, a small neighbourhood bistro with delightful service and exceptional food. The mysterious weather conditions have come in waving their wand and bestowing us with warmer weather than in Sydney. We pass towns like Jervis Bay and Hyams Beach where beach lovers flock and then Berry where many happy memories live and then we arrive in Milton. The landscape in front of us is bathed in hues of turquoise, cerulean and gold like a technicolour movie.

The drive from Sydney to the start of the Shoalhaven takes around 1 hour and 40 minutes and we've lucked out with the weather. Teddy and Milo are with his sister and it's just us on this weekend. I grab Mr NQN's hand and squeeze it tight while he's driving and he flashes me a cheeky grin. I'm fresh off the plane from overseas, well rested, showered, dressed and ready for my weekend in the Shoalhaven. Come along and taste the best of the Shoalhaven! With over 100 kilometers of coastline, over 100 beaches and 50 towns including Milton, Berry and Ulladulla there is so much to see and do in this magical part of the world. The Shoalhaven is a stunning area on the South Coast of NSW with beautiful beaches, nature walks, boutiques, fantastic restaurants, bars and wineries in an area that seamlessly blends coastal beaches and farm.
