We had planned to have breakfast at the Bell House Cafe, but it was too crowded so we settled for take away coffees and Anita cooked breakfast back at our caravan. Sonny’s Bakery had a problem with the steamer oven and our sourdough did not rise properly. We will try cutting our free loaf tomorrow if we can.
We walked around part of East Tamworth which is an older residential area. This attractive house is now used as a Veterinary Hospital.
Today I spent time hosing dried mud off our groundsheets and tidying up the cargo bay of the van. Anita washed the blankets in the critters’ crate so I gave Bluey another bath. I was wearing a cat T-shirt while drying him.
I visited the Tamworth Regional Gallery to see the exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the TCMF – yet to happen. This denim suit was my favourite exhibit. Most of the embellishments are earthenware so it would be very heavy to wear. The library was still open so I browsed the collection of knitting and crocheting books.
Tilly continues to entertain by trying to get into other vans, or exploring the infrastructure. She was at the end of her lead trying to get into the motorhome. She found a comfortable rest area on the A-frame of the big van.
Late the afternoon we noticed an underground water leak. I reported it at the Office and the owner and his offsider have been working in a muddy hole for three hours repairing the old pipe.
