The final Work contract.In Tasmania of course.

During the week it was off to the Plough Inn to try it.Once will be enough.Very noisy place.First the menu.
.
.
.

The wine,Swinging Gate pinot gris was fine.
..

Though they obviously didn't want to waste the old 2020 labels!
Now we ordered a dozen oysters to share.Mrsdrron then ordered the Greek lamb chops and I the pork fillet in a creamy paprika sauce.This is how it came.
.

Yes everything at once.Mrsdrron's Greek lamb was nothing like Greek lamb.
.

And my pork fillet was drowned in sauce.
.

As we were finishing the chef/cook came out and asked how everything was.He tried to blame the 3 dishes arriving at once on the waiter.Sorry a table of 2 ordered all 3 dishes together.As they say doesn't pass the pub test and we won't be back.

The next night was the opposite.Me Wah.Feels like being back in Hong Kong 40 years ago.
.

The service is excellent.We started with the assorted dumplings which are great.
.

The San choy bow.Messy but lovely.
.

Moved on to garlic and ginger scallops - fantastic.To die for truffled mushrooms with a small special fried rice.
.
.
.

Washed down with a sancerre.

Thursday was a public holiday for the Launceston show which hasn't been held for 3 years.So an excellent day to go and look at the Table Cape tulips.What's more the Bom were forecasting a fine morning for Wynyard.So be prepared for lots of flowers.
We gave the car a good view for the duration as we were directed to the seniors car park.Grey hair sometimes helps.
.
.

We had just paid our entrance fees and looking at the planter boxes -
.

-when the heavens opened up.So we went inside to their shop and displays.
.
.
.

[drron]

Also a cafeteria but nothing tempted us.So on with the show.

The rain stopped and the dark clouds then avoided Table Cape for the next couple of hours.Mrsdrron got a loan of a pair wellies.

Such an amazing display of tulips
A Dutch friend of mine used to eat tulip bulbs.

 

[drron]

We then went up to the Table Cape lookout.Always worth a visit if there is some blue sky.

Then to the lighthouse for the views back to the tulips.

And a dark cloud appeared and it poured just after taking the last photo.

Have you had coffee at Amelia's on George @drron?
A barista friend of mine knows Amelia and swears by her coffee.

Then off to a late lunch at Fish on the Edge at Wivenhoe.I really like this placeas the food is always very good.You can get anything from the menu at any time it is open so no problem with a late lunch.
Mrsdrron had the crumbed scallops with sweet potato fries and I had the seafood laksa - it is a very good laksa with a generous amount of seafood.
