Lunch in Clare

Late last night a gust of wind caused me to jump out of bed to put down the awning. It was raining lightly, but later was constant heavy rain until this morning when it eased.

We had a late start so I was lucky to buy the last loaf of white sourdough from Clare Rise Bakery when I went for coffees. As I was driving out I spotted these two kangaroos grazing less than 2m from the Main South Rd. I left by a different driveway to avoid spooking them.

We spent time catching up with administrative matters, including setting up both phones so they can chromecast Britbox to our TV.

Our neighbour had recommended lunch at the Mr Mick tapas bar and cellars in Clare. It was a lovely setting even though damp. Bluey had to stay in the car as it was too cold and windy to eat outside.

We enjoyed some of our dishes but found both meat dishes to be fatty. The wine must have been OK as Anita bought a couple of bottles. We had a 10% discount voucher from the caravan park for our meal, and another 10% voucher from our neighbour for cellar door purchases.

The heritage listed building once served as a distillery and a large copper still remains as a feature.

The tower is impressive when viewed from below. The red pipes supply water to fire fighting sprinklers.

While our housekeeper was at our house this afternoon, a security camera caught this visiting cat.
