Country Beauty

Today we decided to go on a little day trip to Bathurst...it was a lovely day! We ended up buying a beautiful 1920's food safe which has been restored and will make a fabulous kitchen cabinet..(pics next week when we take the trailer out there to pick it up...Im so excited, I don't know how I will wait all week!!)
Just outside of Bathurst is a town called Hill End. It was in it's prime in the 1800's as a Gold Rush town and has now been preserved and is deemed a historic treasure by the government. It is so quiet (only about 60 residents these days), beautiful and such a beautiful way to look back on the life that was. We love going there, escaping from the hustle and bustle and just to enjoy being.

 Buildings were built simply and with character (or so we think!)

 We love wandering through the quiet and empty streets and admiring the buildings and properties built so long ago.

Beautiful aren't they??

On the car trip there and back I also got 24 squares done for my blanket! yipee! It will be finished in no time at all. Best thing is, we have to go back next Saturday to pick up our new cabinet so I will be able to get lots of crochet time in then too! (thank goodness for a husband that is always happy to drive!)

A quiet night in tonight will round off a perfect day. Hope wherever you are in the world, your day was just as great. If not, there is always tomorrow!

Ciao

Bella
