All this took place before Covid-19.
After Cambridge we went to New Norfolk spending over a week there. I lived in New Norfolk for 4 years when my later father was a Policeman. The town is where I started my schooling at St. Brigid's School, taught by Nuns, some of them were Irish. When I was 3 years old the nuns used to look after me whilst my parents worked. On their days off my parents looked after me, plus my father was on shift work. There is more about me and my life at New Norfolk here. Also there is a photo in HDR of the house I lived in.
The Police Station below photo, well that wasn't there but from memory there was a house that was the Police Station, then the below one was built, now I understand that a new one is going to be built.
Have never stayed in New Norfolk since leaving until this March, so that is many years.
There is a green park or square in New Norfolk opposite the above restaurant and English Church.
Found a new map other than google maps online. We were in Cambridge and went to New Norfolk but followed the 'red' line, it wasn't a long way and we arrived about lunch time.
Nice to see these photoes from New Norfolk!Seems to be a great place to stay!Very adorable the church and alsothe one that is now a resturant
ReplyDeleteGreetings Anita
Beautiful area, magic in Autumn when the leaves turn.
DeleteI envy you for having cousins that are like brothers and sisters. Mine are, sadly, not like that at all.
ReplyDeleteThe church looks lovely!
I consider myself lucky to have my cousins, but I don't see all of them unfortunately.
DeleteWhat a beautiful place, very picturesque.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful area, all of it.
DeleteThank you for taking me travelling (again).
ReplyDeleteI never knew any of my cousins (or any relatives other than immediate family) so I envy you.
A lot of my cousins used to come and stay in the school holidays way back, I would go stop with them, we always kept in touch after that, long with some of my cousins children, now into 4th cousins with some but they are babies :)
DeleteIt is a noce place to live.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good place to live, even though so young, I remember.
DeleteYour house from childhood was great
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteLa iglesia se ve muy bonita y el parque está todo verde, con buenas sombras y bancos para sentarse.
ReplyDeleteBesos
It is a good park and I was looking for longish shadows.
DeleteA lovely visit I am sure. Do you ever stay home?
ReplyDeleteIt was a great visit David.
DeleteYes, home now and have been since we returned towards the end of March. It's a bit cool to be taking off at the moment, hoping all is well in spring then we will travel to somewhere in Tasmania.
I enjoyed reading those interesting things about your childhood. Nice you got to visit your cousins before Covid ruined everyone’s plans. Hopefully we can all do that sometime soon! I haven’t seen my children or grandboys for a year and no end of this in sight for us.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is sad not seeing your grandchildren, I presume you see them on the internet but it's not the same I'm sure as giving them a hug and so on....time will come when you can Cynthia, time will come...
DeleteThanks re my childhood, it was a good one and probably I do have a lot to tell but I don't tell much probably because I think most people would not be interested :)
Must have been nice to meet up with your cousins.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a nice place, I especially like the 6th photograph.
All the best Jan
It was nice, it's always nice to meet my cousins, well some of them, all ages too.
DeleteLove that tree in the 6th.
It's a great looking town. How good was your early childhood house with such a beautiful backdrop.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice little place, you would have driven through it on your way to Hobart I presume.
DeleteBehind that house when I lived there was a very large paddock with horses in it and a sheep or two, not now all houses.
Olá querida amiga Margaret!
ReplyDeleteQue lindo olhar pela sua infância!
Um sorriso iluminado!❤️😀❤️

Thanks Megy.
DeleteSuch a lovely looking place
ReplyDeleteIt is Jo-Anne.
DeleteThanks for the beautiful photos of New Norfolk. I will have to get my old photo albums out as I am sure we visited there a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteNew Norfolk is on the way to Queenstown from Hobart, it's a very nice town especially pretty in Autumn.
DeleteBuenas imagenes. Me encanta como nos las muestras
ReplyDeleteUn saludo
Thank you :)
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures of this wonderful place.
The daily life looks so quiet. Lovely!!
Greetings, Marco
Yes, it is rather a quiet place there during the week, there is rowing on the river by many people.
DeleteThanks.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteNice photographs...good to know a new place
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePrimero.El Narciso de tu cabecera es una maravilla!!
ReplyDeleteY segundo. Me gusta el lugar Margaret. Volver a los lugares donde hemos vivido es recordar.
Buen lunes. Cuídate.
Un abrazo.
Thanks Laura.
DeleteI'm usually away up northern Australia when the daffodils are in bloom here at home, so it's my first time seeing them in some years.
Me alegra que lo pasaras bien. Vi tu casa y me ha gustado mucho, me alegró saber de tu niñez. Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. Always lovely to visit places where I lived.
DeleteAnother Tasmanian town I've not heard of previously. It looks like such a pretty area...as most, if not all, of Tasmania is.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty down around that area, certainly worth a visit and much to be seen in and around.
DeleteI think all of Tasmania that I've managed to see if beautiful, but then I'm bias.
So Beautiful - Thanx For All The Photos - Happy Days Ahead
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks Padre..
DeleteNice to revisit the place you have stay as a child and get to meet up with your cousins. Can see that it is a pretty place. I like the church building and the little park.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy.
DeleteI like the architectural characteristics of the church.
ReplyDeleteIt's rather good.
