About a week and a half ago we headed off with the van again. Our first day was a big one…..travelling 110kms to Cowra, where we stayed for three nights.
We stayed in a lovely caravan park, right in town and beside the river. Very convenient to everything. The autumn coloured leaves looked so nice in the afternoon light.
The reason we were there was that Mick was playing in a bowls tournament. His club had won the local Pennants comp and were representing the area in the Zone competition.
There were eight clubs competing, with each club fielding three teams. They were divided into two groups. They each played two games on Saturday and one on Sunday morning. The winner of each group would then go on to play a final to determine which club would represent the Zone at the State level. The scores were calculated on the combined total points of each club, so two teams could win their games but the third lose by a lot and they may still not get through, if you get my drift.
Anyway, Bathurst managed to achieve the highest score in their group of four teams, so went on to play Binnaway in the final, which Binnaway won by two points. Mick’s team did win every one of their games, which they were pleased with. Binnaway has never reached State level before, so they were thrilled and Bathurst will be cheering them on.
In the meantime, what did I get up to? Well, I didn’t watch bowls for the entire weekend. I wandered the street for a good look and actually did some sewing.
I packed my baby Stella and finally added the shadows to the crumb blocks that I have made so far for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Before we left home I bought a wool pressing mat that worked beautifully with my $5 garage sale mini iron.
The blocks look good together. Keep in mind, there will be a sashing in the light grey between them all, which will make the effect so much better, but a good bit of progress.
I also started knitting a new scarf, using my tried and trued pattern for a boomerang scarf. This one is a festive red colour. No photo of progress at that stage, as I forgot, but I will update later.
So, that was a nice way to start our latest adventure. More to follow shortly.
