Last weekend I went down to Gore for a women's retreat with American author Sharon Garlough Brown. I went with a couple of friends and we shared a unit at the hotel. We were asked not to take photo's at the retreat but I thought I'd show you these that I took at sunset the night we arrived.
We were filling in time until we went out for our evening meal and so decided to visit the little heritage village across the road from the hotel. I thought I had one or two more of the buildings but no :(
Once through the gate we were met by this flock of ducks, and the occasional goose, on the grass just beside the stream.
Some of them objected to us disturbing them and departed for the water where I guess they thought we wouldn't follow them and as it was winter they were right :)
There was a display of old farm implements.
The gate to the right of the church is a memorial to the
pioneer women of the district and was erected in 1944.
(Though probably not in this spot, I'm not sure).
We wandered over a little bridge, around the path and up the
side of the stream opposite where we had entered.
Then across another little bridge where we were met by this duck and goose who had wandered away from the main bunch.
It was a nice walk but by then it was starting to get dark and colder so we headed back to the hotel, got in the car and went out for our meal. Chinese, it was delicious.
That's it for the moment, I'm sorry some of the photos are a bit dark, but it was just on dusk.
Have a good week,
blessings,
Diana
