Antique shop


The antique shop at Lucknow is a perfect spot to strike it lucky. It's stuffed full of old wares. I guess the"Cherries Here" sign has made it out of its storage spot by now ... the cherry season has begun.

Well that's it for this trip. I'm popping over to Blue Mountains Journal for a week to show you what the highway widening is doing to our town of Lawson. Then I'll be back here for a very enjoyable trip to the farming country around Mudgee which is north west of the mountains.

    The bicycle doesn't look so antique to me ... . I am still pondering "Lucknow" - yesterday (?) reading this, I thought: uh she is in Pakistan suddenly?

    Cherry season in spring? Everything's up side down at your side of the world, ;-)).

    *9°C, stormy, rainy* :-(

    Your right Martina, perhaps I should have said junk shop or older wares rather than antique. Paula, we find it fun looking at all the stuff that is from the vintage of our childhood but my house is full so I'm not buying any more.

    Martina, the cherry season in NSW is from late spring through early summer running from mid-November to late December. We see the season running a little longer with fruit coming in from Tasmania and New Zealand.

    Pakistan, I'd forgotten there was a Lucknow over there ... goodness I'm getting myopic.

    I have spent useless time over the last couple of days trying to find 3 wooden step ladders - and here you show a photo full of wooden step ladders.

    My new flat does not have wardrobes and I don't want to buy those old ones from the middle of last century. However, the open structures from Ikea and Freedom are a rip off. I thought I would source some ladders and drape my wooden rods across them - viola!

    Shall get my baby girl onto this one.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an inc...

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Yetholme

Our last stop on this trip was to see if there was anything left of an old town once called Frying Pan which was later renamed Yetholme.  I knew Yetholme to be a roadhouse on the highway near the pine forests and didn't expect to find anything but again I was wrong.  There was a lovely little settlement  with homes, a neat community hall and a church still in use.  The perfect spot for the creatively inspired. Apparently it was a tourist town back in the early 1900s and in more recent years was bypassed by the Great Western Highway leaving it to settle into its pleasant tranquil existence, hidden from the travellers speeding by. I remembered it is Tuesday so have added a supplementary photo to participate in Taphophile Tragics  this week.  This is St Paul's Anglican Church in Yetholme.  The burials in the church yard date from the 1873 to the present day. You can see a little more of  Yetholme  over at 100 Towns.
