Day trip to Daylesford Part Three.....

Well, after our yummy lunch, we went for a wander through the art gallery.  Some very interesting pieces plus it was interesting to see the convent building itself.  It is also used for weddings and we got to peep at the wedding reception rooms, all set up for a happy occasion.










This glass tells you whether a storm is coming.....



 Crystals were starting to form which may explain the big electrical storm we had Sunday night





This room at the top of the building (closer to God) was the Nun's infirmary.



The view of the surrounding area from the Bell Tower.

The old chapel....



The reception rooms for weddings....



















So, I hope that you have enjoyed the trip to Daylesford and the Convent Gallery.  I certainly did!

Now, just a reminder to check out all of the lovely giveaways on the sidebar of my blog.  Well worth a look.

hugs,
