Cherry Run

Sunday 5th December, 2010



Today has a real tropical feel to it.  This is my kind of weather........overcast, warm and humid.
After being inside all day yesterday it was time to get out and about and so we thought we would go and do the 'cherry run'.

We headed up to Kersbrook but the little cherry kiosk was closed.  Then it was on to Gumeracha and Kenton Valley but they were also closed.  What is going on?  I am sure we have gone and got cherries this early in previous years, as we have had to go back and get more closer to Christmas.  Perhaps it's because we haven't had the warmer weather to ripen them.
We did see plenty of cherries on the trees though.


So no cherries, well what about a coffee then.  We remembered that Edward and Dominic from The Dome (a coffee shop in Tony's work) was opening at Hahndorf so we decided to go and take a look there.  While enjoying a coffee and lepinja in their lovely shop the rains came.  Thunder and lightning and a heavy shower passed over cooling things down nicely.

On the way home we thought that while we were in the area we may as well go and have a look at Inverbrackie, the place where the Federal government have decided to house the illegal boat immigrants.  Oh my, it is like a little village.  I thought it was houses built in a compound, but there are streets with houses, it looks like any suburb.  It is behind the Woodside Army Barracks and I think previously it was used for the Officers and their families.
