After the chairlift we got back into our car and drove down to the harbour to do a cruise up the Cataract Gorge. We were the only passengers at 3.30pm but Jeremy was more than happy to take us round the harbour, telling us lots of information and then up the gorge.<br />

These beautiful units on the harbour had been Jeremy's home until just recently. They loved living there, with it;s restaurants and shops nearby but decided they needed more space when their grandchildren come to visit.<br />

The harbour foreshore on the Tamar River is being redeveloped now that the mills and silos are no longer used for their intended purposes. They are being turned into a convention entre and residential buildings surrounded by parkland. They will also rebuild the old Kings Wharf which used to service international ship but has not been used and let run down since WWII.<br />

The beginning of the gorge where sits an old flour mill which ran a sleuce down the rock walls of the gorge carrying fresh water for use in the mill. The sleuce was installed by Welsh miners who came out to work in a mine in the 1800's which went broke while they were on their journey out here. The money from building the sleuce paid for their return to Wales. <br />

This house, the only one on the gorge can be hired out for functions. There is a walking path all the way along the gorge back to the chairlift. <br />

On 9th September Jeff and I flew to Launceston. We had last toured Tasmania in l971 when we took our car to Tasmania from Melbourne and hired a caravan in Devonport and toured down the east coast and up the west coast. We were young and naive and had never towed a caravan in our lives before. <br />
This time we flew to Launceston and hired a car, a VW Jetta and after a look around Launceston headed off down the Midlands Highway to our first b and b, Rose Cottage, at<br />
Epping Forest.<br />

Cataract Gorge was our first stop. We walked across this suspension bridge 43 years ago and as the chairlift had been installed since then we decided to take it over to the other side. <br />

The famous Tasmanian Tree Ferns. Sometimes called Man Ferns because they grow as tall as a man.<br />

Our VW Yarris we hired. We weren't particularly impressed with it. I would have loved to have layed my backrest back a little but never ever worked out how to, after much trying on several days. The blinkers and wipers were on opposite sides than we were used to. But apart from that it ran well, fitted in all our bits and pieces and was nice and warm, as the weather was still quite cool in Tassie. About 13c when we arrived.Granny Jannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515860804944685977noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147880588273325477.post-25276249739327625662014-08-18T21:52:00.000+11:002014-08-18T21:52:40.262+11:00<span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BLOG HOPPING WITH A DIFFERENCE</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="font-size: large;">What am I working on right now?</span></span><br />
At the moment I am inspired by vintage linens. I just love them and the fact that someone spent hours embroidering and crocheting them. I feel sad when I find them because the original owners or crafters are now separated from their work and no one in their family cares to carry them over. I like to give them a new life and either use them as they are, for their intended purpose or upcycle them into more useful items. The long sandwich tray cloths I have been reworking into beautiful sewing caddies. Some of these doilies have been stitched onto a cord to be used as bunting. I do find it hard to cut up some of the doilies. The easy ones are those which are damaged and I turn them into another object and make them live again.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: cyan;">How long does it take to create a project?</span></span><br />
I like to finish a project in one day. Or several projects on one day. The little sewing caddies only take an hour or two. The most time is spent in choosing a suitable fabric and vintage laces for the backing and little pockets. I always find it hard to choose buttons from my pearl button collection. They are absolute treasures to me and I selfishly want to keep them all.<br />

All of the above mentioned as well as pretty colourful and retro fabrics. I find it hard to break out of my old mould though. I am getting better at culling my old country style fabrics. I'm sure I won't still be around when they come back into fashion again. I love the bright colours and patterns, the fruits and the flowers of the retro fabrics. I guess it seems 'young and fresh' to me as they were around when I was a child. And after WW2 women were looking for bright and colourful to decorate their houses with. My sister recently gave me some scraps from my mother's kitchen curtain fabric from the l950's which I am going to mount into a bamboo embroidery hoop for the wall.<br />

<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">How does my creative process work?</span></span><br />
I guess I am inspired by beautiful fabrics that catch my eye. My main supply shop is Spotlight and sometimes when I go in nothing inspires me and I tell myself to go home and use up some of my own stash. But other times I see fabrics that sets my mind racing as to what I can make with it. I also frequent every patchwork shop I find as we are travelling around. I find I work best with fat quarters as if I buy a metre or so of fabric I'm reluctant to cut into it in case I find something else I would like to use it for later on. Sometimes I have to stop myself, as I'm cutting out a project, from looking at all the scrappy bits and thinking about what I am doing to do with those!! I like to make useful everyday items so that you will have a smile as you use the.<br />

<span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: large;">How do I become inspired and stay inspired? </span></span><br />
Pinterest is a great inspiration. I can trawl through Pinterest for hours. I rarely buy patterns. I like to see something and then make a pattern myself or just make up what it has inspired in me. And encouragement from others also fuels me to continue on with my creativity.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="font-size: large;">What is my signature style? </span></span><br />
I don't know how to describe my 'style'. I sell my wares under the title of Simply Elegant, so I guess that's how I started. But I seem to have evolved into pretty retro at the moment. I have to create on a regular basis and I sell my wares at an annual Craft Sale and Garden Party in our back garden. Everyone loves the setting, being waited on by my 4 beautiful daughters and enjoying the company of their friends for a couple of hours.<br />

The view from our balcony. the grass hut is the Gazebo Restaurant famous for its breakfast, with people lining up from 7am ready for it to open at 7.30am. You could help yourself to complimentary coffee while you waited. We had breakfast there one morning but used the coffee machine almost every morning.<br />

Drafts anyone? The draft pieces were made out of coconuts and carved into the shapes of monkeys. There were quite a few families staying at the resort and they played with the giant draft board. Behind Jeff is the shuffle board pitch. We didn't play that either but enjoyed watching from our balcony and hearing the clicking noise when the mallet hit the wooden discs.<br />

The aqua mercury glass candleholders are new this year. They are going on my Christmas dining table with a matching sparkly aqua tablecloth and serviettes. I have silver strings of beads to put down the table as well. My snow jar is new. I have sat a little wooden sled and a bird and pinecone into some magic fake snow. It belongs to Charlotte. It's a white powder and you add water and it blows up to about 10 times the size. It gradually dries out and returns to powder and can be reused.<br />

Lill and hung's wedding was at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church at Hunters Hill. It was a gorgeous old sandstone church with a magnificent view up the Harbour. and surrounded by beautiful old sandstone houses.<br />
<br />
The music was provided by Jasmine Strings and they played all my favourite pieces. The music warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes.<br />
Jaimeson was so intrigued with the players, especially when the fellow on the left was making music by plucking the strings with his thumb. He smiled at Jaimeson.<br />

Lill's bridesmaids represented aspects of her life. Her school days, uni days, work life and friends. Their beautiful dresses had beaded tops and chiffon skirts. Each bodice a little different for each girl. Hung had two friends as best men and 3 of his brothers as groomsmen. A real multicultural wedding with the Priest being Phillipino. Hung is Vietnamese and Lill Chinese of course.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Lillian and Hung's Tea Ceremony</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Jeff and I felt very privileged to be invited to Will's sister's Tea Ceremony on the morning of her marriage to Hung Mai.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The five bridesmaids and Lill were watching the arrival of Hung and his groomsmen from the balcony of the Lam's house. Lill is traditionally wearing a red dress but very much in the modern style!! The girls were just wearing Kimonos so as not to give away their bridesmaid dresses for later on. </span></span><br />

Will twin cousins were responsible for setting 'challenges' for the boys to do before they would be allowed to enter. Here they are performing a dance which they were copying from a lap top which one of the twins was holding up for them to watch. They played a couple more games and then were allowed to enter the house followed by all the guests.<br />

Jaimeson dressed in his special page boy clothes. The other little page boy was the same age, dressed the same. They looked like twins and were so cute. Auntie Lill had bought their outfits.<br />

Last school holidays Felicity and the children came to stay and we had a swim and fish and chips on Bulli Beach. Cooper and Sienna had a wonderful time playing in only about 2 feet of water in the baby pool. Most of the pool was full of sand wash in there by the waves. The council needed to come with a mini scoop and dig it out ready for the swimming season.<br />

Jeff got out his train set for the children. He set it up on the garage floor, nicely positioned so her could still drive the car into the garage and not run over any pieces. The children all enjoyed having a 'turn' at switching the points and running the train. <br />

Felicity, Jeff and I took Cooper, Sienna and Xander to the movies at Warrawong to see Planes. It was Sienna and Xander's first movie in a big theatre and they all loved it. So did we adults. Felicity bought these big buckets of popcorn to share. The kids loved those too.<br />

Flynn was born on the 22 October 2013 at 8.30pm. Charlotte had a water birth. Which is ironic really because I wanted a water birth with her being born on 31st January in Grafton where it was 40c everyday for a week. I kept going to the local pool to cool down and the manager told me if I was still around at the end of the week he'd send me down the waterslide so I could have a water birth.<br />

Vicki is feeding 5 poddy lambs. They are just gorgeous. They know her voice and follow her everywhere. I am mucking out the lambs shelter. They sleep under an old ute canopy with some fluffy pillows but of course they wet their beds everynight. They roam around the sheds near the house all day greeting whoever comes by. They follow you bleeting all the while.<br />

LUNCH IN GOULBURN <br />
We met Vicki, Auntie Jan and Uncle John at Rose's Cafe in Goulburn for lunch on last Friday.<br />
The cafe has gourmet pies, fritatas, wraps and salads. I love the fresh flowers they have on top of their sweets showcase and they have a gallery of local paintings for sale. <br />

After lunch Vicki took us to the Lady Belmore Club. An exclusive ladies friendship club in Goulburn which took Vicki two years to get into after having recommendations by others and interviews. It offers accommodation on a self cater basis also. The club has been operating for about 80 years and has about 40 members. It has reciprocal arrangements with other friendship clubs in other country towns. It is a bit like CWA without the charity side.<br />

My birthday was the following day and Felicity's the day after that. As Yvette, Dave and Tassy were also visiting from Canberra for the Baptism we took the opportunity of a birthday brunch at Little Rock Cafe at Baulkham Hills which has a strategically placed children's playground for the 6 grandchildren.

Vicki's 60th was held in the Tarago Community Hall. She had a bush band from Canberra and they were fantastic. We did quite a bit of dancing.<br />

Nearly all of Vicki and Roger's grandchildren. It wasn't until after the photo was taken that we discovered that little Ella wasn't in the photo. Grant , the eldest, is 17 and his baby sister Bronte at just 9 weeks is the youngest.<br />
No they don't all belong to the same parents!! There are three families represented there. <br />

Layla was a poddy-lamb brought up by the working dogs. They kept her warm in their kennel and now she thinks she's a dog. She runs up to meet you with the dogs and even tries to bark like a dog.<br />

It was lovely to get together with Diane and Graeme, Annette and Norm and Daryl and Julie and have all that heavy Christmas food in the 'right' season, instead of trying to eat a baked dinner in 38c degree heat!!<br />
I put out a few Christmas decorations but mainly just wintery things like pine garland and pine cones, lots of my bird ornaments, a moose and a deer.<br />
We ate vichyssoise, roast pork and chicken and vegies, plum pudding, tiramisu and Di's famous sponge cake. I made chocolate boxes for the ladies.<br />

The great gaping gorge. Wollomombi Falls are one of the highest falls in Australia. We have seen it raging after heavy rains and reduced to just a trickle in drought time.<br />

Sleepy Dorrigo. This building on the corner of the main street used to be an emporium, Something happened in the family and the shop was just closed up, still containing all its stock. It remained closed for about 20 years or so. I saw it when it was all closed up and really would have loved to have looked through all their wares. Now it is a secondhand shop, but unfortunately was closed the morning we were there. My brother Peter said he has never seen it opened.<br />

There is a train graveyard at Dorrigo. All these trains and rolling stock were purchased with a view to opening a train museum. They were being acquired while we lived in Grafton. We had a tour of some of them when they were waiting down at Glenreagh. Most of them got up the mountain before the trainline deteriorated too much. Now some of the trestle bridges on the line have declined and are impassable.<br />

Our old chemist. We knew a couple of the girls who worked in here over the years. It was where we had all our photos developed as well.<br />

One of my favourite house in Dobie Street. In the time we were in Grafton it was used as a Nun's home and then sold privately.<br />

The Small Sisters' house in Alice Street. This is where Yvette and Alicia had their piano lessons. The house had never been altered since the elderly sisters were born. It had 12' ceilings, original wall papers, brass picture rods mounted on the walls. Alicia had her lessons in the front room while Yvette had her lessons out the back in the kitchen dining room, which was along the verandah from the main house, with the verandah open to the elements.<br />

Westlawn School where all the children spent their happy infants and primary years. It was a lovely little school with a lovely big grassy playground. I remember some plovers set their nest in the middle of the playground and guarded their eggs ferociously. The Principal put a fence of sticks around the nest and banned the children from playing near the nest until the eggs had hatched. The lawn was mowed by weekend detainees from the Gaol. When they had finished all their mowing they used to play touch football until the van came to take them back to the Gaol.<br />

!03 Cranworth Street. Our first house was provided by Jeff's work. It was brand new when we moved in. It was straight across the road from Westlawn school. In was also on the bus route. The first time I caught the bus with 3 little girls and a pram, the bus driver said "Don't fold up your pram. I'll get it!" He put it in the boot of the bus fully erected and when we got into town he took out the pram and set it on the footpath for me. I was astonished. The whole trip had cost me half of what it had cost at Engadine and the bus driver didn't start the bus till we were all seated!<br />

The flood drain from North Street through to Carr Street. The girls rode their bikes to school along the bike path beside the flood drain. Cows used to graize along the flood drain at the end of Carr Street. The reeds were to protect the frogs. We had an enormous variety of frogs. I miss them. Especially when it rains. We don't have ANY from here.<br />

The Gallagher's house in North Street. They always had a prize winning garden. Elva used to say that Mike must garden with a miners lamp in the dark to get as much done as he used to in the garden. They had a great BMX track out the back for their 4 sons.<br />

Earl Street looking north towards Junction Hill. Cars used to roar along here at 100kph making a huge dust cloud when it was dry. The cows used to come down twice a day along the road and turn left to be milked. I spun out in the gravel on this road once with Felicity. We got the car stuck in a ditch and had to walk home and get Jeff to come back and get it out. <br />

Our lovely house in Carr Street. We did a lot of the building ourselves. Jeff did all the verandah railing as well as making the 'whalebones' for the bull nosed verandah. The girls painted their bedrooms. The stained glass windows in the entrance and stairwell came from Jeff's father. He was taking them to the dump and I rescued them about 10 years before we built the house. At the time I didn't know what I would use them for, but they were just perfect in our house. My brother Rod built the kitchen and the wash stand vanity outside the toilet.<br />

Last month we went to Pacific Bay Resort in Coffs Harbour with Daryl and Julie. I have always loved Coffs since I had a family holiday there when I was 12. When we lived in Grafton and came shopping in Coffs it was like entering a different world with the banana plantations covering the hills, resorts, shopping centres and car sale yards. To me it was like the big city.<br />

We had a little walk every morning over to the lovely reception/restaurant area for breakfast. The weather was just beautiful and it was lovely to sit in the sun on the enclosed deck over the pond and eat our sumptuous hotel breakfast. I LOVE hotel breakfasts.<br />

Our rooms were in the high rise block on the left about 3 floors down from the top. The only 'drawback' was that no sun came into our room at this time of year. But we hardly spent any of the daylight hours in our room. Our balcony overlooked the lake (it was originally a creek but the Resort have two weirs which have ponded the creek on its flow out to the sea), we overlooked the golf course and over trees could see the waves as they crashed up onto Diggers Headland, and then out to see. I looked every morning for whales but didn't see any from our balcony.<br />

It was a short walk down to the beach. The beach is unpatrolled and a bit rough. The northern end of the beach was pebbly. I found some interesting little shells though.

The view from the path to the beach. The little island in the pond is the 9th hole of the golf course., Jeff and Daryl had a couple of games of golf and said the course was quite challenging. <br />

When Jeff and Daryl drove north to play golf at Safety Beach Julie and I spent 3 hours by the pool. The sun was beautiful and the pool was heated to 25c. We had a lovely swim followed by lunch at the restaurant. Fruit for lunch!!! Orange and Almond cake with mised berry coulis and apple and rhubarb crumble. Both were decorated with rosewater pearls, strawberries and star fruit.<br />

The lovely pool area. When Julie and I appeared in the pool area two lovely wood ducks decided it was time to vacate the pool!!! I'm sure they were enjoying the warm water.<br />

This hillside in the background used to be covered in bananas just 15 years ago. As the children of the banana growers grow up they don't want to work on the plantations anymore and the old folks are too old for such physical work so they hand over some land to their children to build their house on (with magnificent ocean views) and the children pursue other careers, and the plantations are removed. Sad.<br />

On our last morning we had breakfast at the Coffs Harbour Yachet Club. Just lovely.<br />

The main street with its beautiful old buildings. I was astonished to hear a guy we met at the pub say that only 15 years ago a lot of the shops were either boarded up or had people living in them. They are now restored or modernised and everyone is occupied by a business. The shops were beautiful and elegant. Reminded me of European shops. There were lots of restaurants too.<br />

This was the 'front' for a two dollar shop in the mainstreet. No need for the goods to be stacked out the front on the footpath when you have these gorgeous old show case windows as your entrance. Originally it would have been a department store. <br />
<br />
It is wonderful that Beechworth has so many of these old features still there and not removed or 'modernised'.<br />

Next to the Old Bank building, now a gold exchange and jewellery shop, is the famous Beechworth Bakery. We ate lunch there the two days we were in Beechworth.<br />

Rose Cottage B and B is in Camp Street Beechworth. It is run by Tony and Lyn McCure. Jeff and I stayed there 7 years ago and were hoping that this year it would be just the same, and it was.<br />

The gardens are just magnificent. There were remnants of the Christmas lights and decorations around the garden too. It must look absolutely spectacular at Christmas time. So much time and effort goes into the garden. It is a joy to just walk around it and discover some hidden treasures, like a couple of gnomes hiding under a shrub.<br />

Our bed was so high that there was a little foot stool to help you get up onto it. The electric blanket kept us snug and warm. The B and B was so quiet at night. But then the whole of Beechworth retreats indoors at sundown and the streets are almost deserted.<br />

The lovely entrance hall. I love all the decorations. I thought my house is a bit overdone with its decoration and my collections, but this is so much more. There are so many beautiful and interesting things to look at. <br />

Tony and Lyn McCure have a good eye for collecting and decorating, with great attention to detail.<br />

The house has four guest rooms and we preordered our breakfast the night before, so just about 10 mins after we sat down at the table, Tony arrived with our ordered breakfast. Jeff asked for barbeque sauce for his bacon and eggs and Tony returned NOT with a sauce bottle, but with sauce a tiny crystal jug sitting in a miniature china saucer. <br />

At night we sat in the lounge room in front of the fire and played Upwords. Daryl found an interesting book to read among the piles here and there in the room. He read aloud amusing bits that we appreciated. He also managed to catch up with some reading of his files for work too in such an elegant restful situation.Granny Jannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14515860804944685977noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147880588273325477.post-34587238367363349612013-05-08T16:16:00.003+11:002013-05-08T16:16:50.155+11:00<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">BRIGHT AUTUMN FESTIVAL</span></span><br />

Chiltern has a lot of potential as a tourist town like Berrima was.<br />

The Which Craft and Coffee Shop in Harden. I did some legal work for them 41 years ago when I worked for a Solicitor in Cootamundra. The craft co-op was purchasing the house and just setting up. I couldn't believe it is still going after 41 years.<br />

We had lunch in their cafe. The old dears had cooked homemade soup and were serving the tables, some in their 70's and 80's. The profits go back into the house for maintenance and preservation. The house was built in l912 by John Bourke, a business man. We met his grand-daughter at lunch and she told us the history.<br />

The lovely kitchen of the Lawson Motel, Wagga Wagga, where we stayed on our first night. It was a shame that we were only there for one night. A week would have been lovely. Jeff and I stayed in Wagga for 2 weeks when Jeff was teaching Columbo Plan students from all over the world in l976. We had a very ordinary motel, our room was on the first floor which was very inconvenient with a 3 year old and a crawling baby. I would have loved the space and garden of THIS motel!<br />
