I am happy that you enjoyed these last co...Hi Noel,<br />I am happy that you enjoyed these last couple of posts seeing as they were places that are special for you too. You are right, life is full of surprises and it was a pleasure to meet him and a pleasant surprise as well.<br />I didn't know the Crafers Inn was undergoing renovations but any time you are having a winter lunch anywhere, a log fireplace is very welcome! We are sweltering through another hot and humid summer here at the moment. The temperatures are not as hot as in Adelaide, but the humidity makes the days difficult to handle. I am hoping that this will be a short summer!<br />I had a bad feeling that Ryder would up his game against the Bombers. Fingers crossed for continued improved performances for them.<br />Take care Noel.<br />Jason.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-43477484097774022382015-07-28T17:03:36.843+10:002015-07-28T17:03:36.843+10:00Well Jason,those pictures really stirred the soul ...Well Jason,those pictures really stirred the soul for me.The asa gohan looked inviting and the wood carving shop I visited as well.Both juku towns are similar in some respects and offer a contrast for visitors.The feelings you describe about their differences , I agree with.<br />Meeting someone who is accustomed to our home state,must have been a thrill for both of you.Life is full of surprises!<br />Just over a week a go , lunched at the Crafers Inn.Renovations are going on and they are doing an excellent job.Log fires in the dining rooms and bar,comfortable seating(booths and lounge chairs),craft and imported ales,top class vino and generous/tasty food...at a reasonable price.<br />The Dons seem to be on the right track at last.Looking much better and the signs are promising.Saw the whole match on TV against Port.Ironically,Ryder proved a matchwinner in the last quarter.Is that what they call "karma" I wonder.<br />This month has been a coldy,but not a great amount of rain has fallen...but far better than in June.Dewa mata and all the best..Noel.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.com
