We left Tamworth today after farewelling our friends. We have not decided whether we will return for the delayed TCMF in April, but were assured there would be a site available for us. There are permanent residents who might be available to mind Bluey when we both want to go to events.
We stopped for morning tea in Uralla. The New England Hwy passes through Uralla, but this does not detract from this attractive village. A few years back there was no reason to stop at Uralla, but these days Uralla has several interesting cafes, craft shops, and an interesting wool shop.
Gold was discovered near Uralla and undoubtedly helped fund some of the quality historic buildings. The brickwork in this building is attractive.
The 1892 building is now a private residence with a delightful garden. The Top Pub is next door and it also has a large attractive garden.
We are staying at the Armidale Showground. A camp drafting event finished here yesterday and an extensive cleanup is continuing. The aroma of horse poo wafts in our windows!
We drove to the Goldfish Bowl Bakery for bread and other goodies. I was enjoying a slice of sourdough bread with Blue watching every mouthful. I gave him a couple of small pieces and he devoured them and the rest of his dry food.
We are glad to have been away from the Gold Coast while Omicrom affected so many people. There were cases two doors both ways from our house, and I just learnt two friends who live a couple of streets over have Covid.
