The final Work contract.In Tasmania of course.

[drron]

Having been on call for the first week plus cold and rain during the second week there was very little going on in my free time.On the weekend I had a visit from another AFFer @RooFlyer.Saturday night and we went to the Velo winery and their restaurant Timbre.
The menu.
.

We were talking too much so the photos were mainly forgotten.So just the first course -the beef crudo and chicken wings.The menu doesn't give a good guide to what you get.The food is really good.
.

An interesting floor with sassafras floor tiles.
.

And the bar.

I'm glad we went, but I'm not as big a fan as drron. Food was great, but its basically a set menu with two tiers. If the set dishes didn't take your fancy, then you'd be a bit unlucky.

drron's digs this time are a bit ... quirky.

You can’t just leave it at that

Found .. agreed!

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

Yes I have arrived in LST - flew in on Thursday direct from BNE. Now RON has stayed in many places in LST but this house takes the cake ! I have never seen SO much clutter/nicknacks in one place ! It looks like a deceased estate with only the bodies taken out. And it has WHITE carpet throughout -(Well it WAS white originally - Many moons ago ) I have removed the hall runner as it is a big trip hazard.


Hall and lounge

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

Now the bathroom is something else - words cannot really do it justice !

Three walls are mirror tiles, there is a naked statue in the corner and the ceiling !!!!!

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

So to the bedroom, cherubs on the ceiling and lace, gold sateen and wrought iron for a bedhead !!

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

RON goes to the hospital at 7.30, he gives me a cup of coffee in bed before he leaves, and this morning it was 1 C with a real feel of minus 3 !!! So I won't get out of bed for awhile, I am thinking of names for those cherubs !!

 

[RooFlyer]

So, no redecorating ideas to take back to QLD, then?

 

[Pushka]

I cannot imagine the dust hiding in all that, um, stuff. I think you are right. Maybe the bodies have just been hidden somewhere....

Sunday morning and off to the Evandale markets with @RooFlyer ..
..


I bought some carrots,cauliflower and potatoes from this stall which became miso marinated roast veggies for 2 nights of dinners.
Whilst there we tasted a few delicaciessuch as Ethiopan doughnuts and spicy stuffed American pretzels.The pretzels were good.
RooFlyer then set off for home and I decided to walk around Evandale.

Just out side the markets is a statue of painter John Glover.
.
.

The Glover Art Prize is held every year in the hall in the second picture.

 

[drron]

Some nice old buildings and lots of spring flowers.

Continuing down the main road.And another former hotel.
.
.
.

And every year they have a Penny Farthing race through the streets of Evandale.
.

A nicely done up house opposite the Clarendon with a very neat garden.
.
.
.

At the back of the Clarendon is a little park with a history.

 

[drron]

And now into the back streets.
.
.
.
.
.
.

And the Pioneer cemetery where the fellow who discovered the silver/lead deposit in Zeehan is buried.
.
.

 

[drron]

Now turn down the Evandale road and past the Anglican St.Andrews church.
.
.
.
.
.
Next door was the Launceston horticultural society show.Some nice flowers.
.

But when I sped this I was happy.
.

Some at the hospital think the Rustic bakery in Cressy is the best in the North and swear by their donuts.A latte and a lemon meringue donut went down well.
.

Continuing north on Evandale road.
.
.
.

And another former hotel now a community centre.
.
.
.

And the old doctor's house.
.
.
.

 

[drron]

Now down the road with the water tower on the corner.
.
.

There is a narrow gauge railway which is meant to be operating every Sunday in Morven Park.However it was all quiet but obviously had been running during the pandemic.
.
.

The Sportsground was next to the railway.
