Out and about

We had a lot of wind and rain overnight.  There was a gale warning out for most of Victoria.  Today’s temperature forecast was 10 – 16, but didn’t rise above 14˚.

We drove to the small town of Trentham.  Apparently, it is used as a backdrop for a lot of films.  We didn’t pick the locations.  We looked at some lovely shops and chatted with shopkeepers, keeping out of the rain.

We drove to Lyonville to the picturesque pub to find that [along with a few other places], it wasn’t open on Mondays.  We enjoyed the walk to the old station.

We went back to the “Historic Red Beard” bakery with Scotch oven in Trentham for lunch.  There are only a few Scotch ovens left – they use a particular type of wood and cook in the heat of the coals.

In the afternoon, the sun was out so we had a walk in the Garden of St Erth.

No drinks outside today.
