We drove to Crafers to have breakfast at the Crafers Bakehouse, but the offerings were very disappointing, and nothing like the reviews. Bluey waited outside while we were in the shop, secured to the big table.
The town is very close to the M1 S Eastern Fwy, and has a lot of truck movements thanks to ongoing roadworks. There are a few modern shops with parking, but the nearest supermarket is at Stirling, only 2kms away.
The Crafers Hotel was built in 1880. It offers accommodation, food and of course drinks. I found a photo online of one of the bedrooms in the hotel.
Anita did three loads of washing in our small machine, and I put a load through a large machine in the laundry. The clothes line behind the laundry was in shade and likely to stay in shade for the rest of the day. I discovered there are two laundries, and there was some hope of sun filtering through the tree canopy at the lower laundry. I lost track of how many times I walked down to the clothes line, moving clothes on the lines to chase a little sun. Everything did eventually dry.
Tilly likes being carried around in the laundry basket, so I took her on one trip, and she walked back up the hill on her lead. We are in the Adelaide Hills, and this large caravan park has lots of hills.
While the washing was drying, I subjected Bluey to a grooming session. I used new clippers to trim his paws before cutting his claws, then tidying his face. He tolerated all of this but was glad when it was over.
I have been trying to add a plugin that would allow me to apply a password to my whole blog site. After many emails and several wasted hours, I discovered that I would have to upgrade my WordPress account, and this would cost nearly $500 per year! I gave up and the money I paid for the plugin will be refunded.
This afternoon, we spent some time organising where we will go after spending a week in Adelaide. Our friends will join us for some of these activities.
I have a collection of photos capturing the colours of autumn trees, and flowers planted around Hahndorf, so I created these collages.
