The Streets of Launceston

Lovely to be back home again. I managed to catch Mum’s cold… or someone elses – who knows!! At least I am just snuffly not particularly sick and pathetic, so that’s good. Poor Dad has come down with it too!!

We really enjoyed our few days away – Its pretty rare for us to do that, so a change is good fun!

Anyway – here is the fancy-pants B&B that we weren’t staying in! 😀

I quite liked our wonky funny place we stayed tho…

To be honest, it was a bit tired and the rooms should have been cleaner for the price, hotter coffee and perhaps fresher bread at breakfast… 😀

I spent some time here one afternoon crocheting waiting for Jeff to get back from his conference.

It was kinda weird at first getting used to not having to do anything! There is always a task lurking in my brain to attend to – wood, chickens, cat, dinner, garden etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed wandering the streets admiring the buildings, homes  & Churches in Launceston.

Magnolias were out in full bloom everywhere, which was a total delight!

I was quite taken with this scruffy church – it had been de`consecrated  a while back and some design company now inhabits it.

Everywhere I wandered I came across beautiful old buildings

At night – no cooking for me!! We wandered the streets until we found a restaurant that took our fancy. Then walked back up the hill to our B&B which I am sure was very healthy of us! It was nice seeing the buildings at night too – and it wasn’t even too cold!

Each day, part of my walk would include a walk through this small park, Princes’ Square.

There is a statue in the park of Dr William Russ Pugh. Dr Pugh is acclaimed as being the first in Australia to etherise patients for surgical operations in 1847, in Launceston, Tasmania.

We really enjoyed our time in this very pretty city.

Cheers!
