10
degrees in van at 7am and very windy with clear sky.
Clouds
have come over and the wind has picked up – predicting 50 to 100km/h winds
today. Headed off to Launceston to do some shopping and maybe go to the Zoo.
Got
an aerial for the phone and internet to erect on the TV aerial of the van so we
can plug in there too when we don’t have good reception.
Got
our fuel, gas bottle exchange and some groceries. As the weather hasn’t
improved decided to head back to the farm instead of the Zoo. Drove back
through Carrick where we had dinner last night for photos of the old buildings
here. This one is classified by the National Trust but I’m not sure what it
was.
The
Carrick Inn, first licenced in 1833.
Of
course there were always a few pubs and churches in even the smallest of towns.
This is the Prince of Wales Hotel.
The
Mill (1836) is now being revamped into the Mill Inn.
Malcolm
got his old Buick (1929) going so he could move it into another shed. He put
the old ‘garden chair’ on as the seat and we all went for a ride. Cool. Amazing
to think the engine still goes well after all those years sitting in a shed. Took
a video of it starting up and moving then one with the boys going for a drive.
Showed
Malcolm & Kerry photos of our old house, the Palmer and Lakefield etc.
Quiet
night watching TV with the wind howling outside. Still clear sky and 8 degrees.
