Daylesford Sunday Dispatch - Sunday, 20th October 2019


What a lovely start to the week with a visit from John & Jan Smith joining us for breakfast at The Food Gallery. Pasquale & Toni were thrilled to see them as well & we overstayed our usual departure time catching up with their news, talking about health, dogs, golf & trips. Aileen was there as well, which is always a plus.

Jan Pengilley had given us some of her husband’s books, so I spent the rest of the morning adding them to our Inventory & labelling them as gifts from her & Warren (AKA Secundus).



In the afternoon we took Lewis & Morse to Chaplin’s in Trentham for some socialising. It wasn’t a huge success – Mel wasn’t there & her staff were very keen to finish on the dot of 3pm. We sat in the wrong place & had our knuckles rapped, Wes’s mocha was a cappuccino & I could have stood a teaspoon up in my “very weak” tea. However, it is a lovely drive to Trentham, especially when you are not passing through on your way to Melbourne & we enjoyed the countryside.

I’ve been trying to walk around town each morning & am enjoying catching up with friends as I do. I try to have a little project for each walk – a gift to buy, serviettes from the $2 shop, buying or posting cards, and just enjoying the sunshine. Wes usually spends each morning in our garden & we are very lucky that he does, especially now as the lavender is looking splendid, our rhododendron is about to flower, the maples are coming into leaf & the roses are thick with foliage promising a bumper crop of flowers very soon. As well all the herbs are thriving since Lewis & Morse have been thwarted from getting to them & my zucchini seedlings are almost ready to plant.

It’s been a big month for weddings - post Grand Final & beautiful Spring weather make for perfect timing.

Terry, Ben, Katrina & Victor Borg – we first met Terry & Victor in 1982, before Ben was born!

Rhonda & I caught up for lunch – something we both enjoy & don’t get to do enough. We went to Larder & I had their yummy Nourish Salad Bowl, which comprised beetroot, kale, almond & paprika hummus & sesame seeds among other ingredients.

Judi & I played Mah Jong again. Dot was seeing a specialist and didn’t get back from Kyneton in time to join us.

A highlight for me was seeing Downton Abbey at the Regent Cinema, Ballarat. I drove there early in heavy rain & discovered to my delight that the 9.45am session was in the Gold Class Cinema & that I was the only one there. I collected a large Jasmine tea from the café & proceeded to enjoy every minute of this sumptuous film. So many good actors – well-written & all the loose ends tied up. Like lots of us I am very sorry to say goodbye to this series.

We took Lewis & Morse to sit outside The Food Gallery on Friday morning & think we will make this a weekly event. I went to early gym & walked to the café to be met by Wes & the boys at 9am. We had hot drinks & raisin toast & the boys settled down more quickly than the last time we tried this.

Yesterday it was pouring rain as we started off for our walk, so we stayed in the car, drove to Hepburn Springs in case it was dry there (it was raining) & came back home to give them early breakfast. Wes decided against bathing them as it would be pointless. They would only get even dirtier playing in the mud. Instead, he headed off to the bakery & bought croissants for us, Rob & Dene & Barbara.
