MERRIWA

Well we thought we better ‘up stumps’ before they asked us to vote in the local elections at Jerry’s Plains!! 😂📮

There were a few vans in with kids being it was a long weekend and the start of the school holidays 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👩‍👧‍👧👪 

Was great watching the kids just be kids...playing outdoors.... look what they decided to hunt for and build. 

They played in that for hours!!!

Anyway we left this morning after our last walk, filled up with water and travelled a huge 84 Klm to 

Merriwa....another small town in the Hunter Valley 🐎🐎🍷🍷

The local bakery was absolutely chockers as we are near‘Bathurst’ (where they have the big annual car race 🏎🏎🏎) and everyone was feeding their hangovers 🍺🍻🍹....

Ed was hanging out for a pie 🥧 (and he didn’t have a hangover...just loves his food)

He said it was a great pie 🥧👍

So we are parked at the back of the RSL club for the night. It’s very quiet and we are the only ones here. 

We walked around town and found the local heritage centre. It was interesting and inside was full of local craft.....I wanted to take home this cute lamb.... 

Lucky I didn’t have the room @ $60😥

I did end up buying some hand made book marks .....they don’t take up much room!!

You can’t really tell in the photo but that’s all made out of wrought iron. 

Unfortunately being a public holiday, this wasn’t open....would have loved to go inside 🙄

There was another shop that was a laundromat and it was also filled with secondhand clothes, books & bags of firewood.... and whatever you took, they just asked you to donate in a tin for drought relief which I thought was a nice gesture!!! 

So tomorrow we are off to a place we have found on the map 🗺 

.... a bowls club!! = me time!!

And Ed time 🤗😏🤪👍👍👍
