SEARCHING A DIFFERENT ROUTE.

Ah, I am still here & neglecting this blog a little, although I've taken some photos recently of days out, it's finding motivation to sit and post.  It is our turn to find a circuitous route for the November coffee/cake run for the car club, so we've had a day or two looking & discovering.  This is from a day in mid October when all didn't go to plan, but we did see lots of fun things.  Away we go.
We'd noticed a small cafe in Kernot, which is just basically a farming locality with no amenities, bar this, so off we went to find it.  Tisn't open Wednesdays, so we searched a little further & as happens, I found lots to photograph.

DERELICTION.

Collapsed roof of some sort of shed.

More old shedding.

The abandoned farmhouse.

These buildings were in such a beautiful location, it was sad to see them abandoned.
All the while taking these, I was being watched by this fella............

He actually let me get quite close and talk to him.

We carried on our way and ended up in Grantville, a small town on the eastern side of Westernport Bay and made a discovery in the park.  Although we've stopped here before, I'm not sure we've ever walked through this area.
They have a walk through history of the town/area in plaques that look like books.

                                                             These were two of several.
There were also many native plants in flower along the pathway, so I snapped a few.  This also the park where I took the gumnut photo in my Scavenger Hunt post.

Next we ventured down to the water's edge and checked out the jetty area.

It was a very grey overcast day, but worth it.  The fun bit was discovering another witch!!!!!
We'd seen the first at the cafe in Kernot, but not taken much notice or a PHOTO.

                   
The Corinella community were trying to promote the area and had placed witches in many of the towns to make people explore the area.  I'm afraid we've not found any more yet, but if we get some sunny days, we may search for a few more.
Today saw us out, planning the route (again), as the one above was too long, but no photos due to the weather once more.  As we started out, although overcast, we certainly weren't prepared for the rain that eventuated.  It was a deluge and our rain gauge said we'd had about 17mls.  Never mind, we still found a good route and coffee shop, so all is done.
Hopefully I'll not be so absent in the future and have planned on doing a coming post of some crafty bits.
Thanks for stopping by, take care & huggles.
