A week ago I had to drop the car off for some work and had to walk home - not much more than 2 kms. Driving a car you miss so much, riding a bike you absorb a little more but walking - yes, that takes in the sights, the sounds, the smells and you take in your surroundings much more.
This day was one of those days - Edgecombe Road is one of those heritage streets of Kyneton. It has many homes that date in the late 1800s. I won't say a great deal more as I don't know a great deal more than I enjoyed the walk and plan to more into the future.
I wonder what hidden delights these driveways to the heritage homes of Edgecombe Road lead to?
Wouldn't you like to see the interiors with I would imagine are some examples of the past.

Late Victorian homes can be very beautiful, especially if they are on large blocks of land. But they are only heritage homes if they are protected by Heritage Victoria or the like. Edgecombe Rd looks delightful.
ReplyDeleteThere are several of the Victorian homes on Edgcombe road with plaques explaining their origins and owners over their history. Very beautifully maintained as are their gardens. I thought that you take in a lot when cycling however walking brings a whole new insight.
DeleteWhat a beautiful area, when are you moving in to your new home?
ReplyDeleteI agree you miss so much in a car and cycling is so much better, but when started walking I realised just how much I had missed on a bike. I could take short cuts and walk through the forest areas that I would never go on a bike.
Take care and have a great weekend D & N xx
Hi D&N
DeleteWe are hoping for the final walk thru this week so we can sign off and start moving in around Dec 9.
I'm thinking of a mountain bike so I can discover the forests up here as they are quite wonderful. Near our new town we are located near the Wombat forest which is the haven of MTB riders.
So you will be in for Christmas, great stuff. We will be in the UK :-( not my favourite place and even less in winter! We tried mountain bikes in South Africa and neither of us really enjoyed off road! Good luck with all that is happening in your lives. Diane x
DeleteLast walk thru is scheduled for Tuesday - now about two weeks overdue. We'll get there.
