Amanda’s visit
A very happy me with my friend Amanda Amanda came to visit recently. Thank God for Amanda. She and I met when we were pregnant with our daughters. Georgia and Frances were born a week apart, but were due on the same day (November 7th). We clicked straight away and have been close friends ever […]
Hypocrisy?
I’m not sure. After a dear friend of mine recently brought to my attention that my views regarding trees are somewhat hypocritical, I am reflecting on these views. When I see a truck loaded with tree trunks that would be possibly 200 years old, heading towards a pulp mill, for example, I get upset. These […]
God bless you, Jac-Jac
Matthew loves trucks and cars. He makes a rumbling noise with his mouth as he maneuvers his cars around (usually on people’s arms and legs). But he also likes playing with Georgia’s dolls. So I bought him a doll of his own. We were so close to calling our son Jack (after my grandfather) that […]
Geeveston Forestry Festival
On a rainy day at the end of March, Geeveston came to life in Heritage Park, as old and young came together to celebrate the forestry industry. Our entrance to the festival was lined with the ute competition. We could have entered ours; such is the style that is fashionable in this area. Utes of […]

However, by getting everybody to turn their lights off is just a stupid way of showing our concern for this planet. Firstly, it will make no difference whatsoever to reducing the CO2 emissions. Secondly, when everybody turns their […]
Missing People
I am missing people. I miss my friends and I miss my family. I even miss the ladies who worked at the local shops that I frequented when I lived in Mitchell Park. Actually, I have been feeling sad since Easter because I miss my family. And I started to look at tickets to come […]
Fifiteen Years… and counting
Today Monte and I celebrate being together for 15 years. In 1993 we met at a rowers’ party, after we had both won Head of the River in our school’s First VIIIs. I was 15. We hit it off straight away, being captivated by eachother as teenagers often are. Unlike most of our peers, however, […]
Easter at Fangorn Farm
This Easter was different. For thirty years I have spent celebrations like Easter with my family: ie parents and siblings. This year we spent Easter with good friends. It was fun. It was relaxed and easy. Despite having chicken pox (which she barely notices!) Georgia had a lovely time with her friends, Milly, Tao and […]
