Lunch at Port Sorell

As it was a lovely sunny start to the day so we decided it was a good day for a trip back to Port Sorell.  We were there in June and stopped at a wonderful fish and chip shop thinking that it was time to revisit it for another feed.  Then calling into Squeaking Point for a look on the way home.  Lovely day.
