Agfest 08

Georgia posing with various machines that made even me want one! We had a great time at Agfest, in Carrick, this weekend. We drove up to Launceston and stayed with our friends, the Edrichs. It was wonderful to catch up again and the children played energetically until late at night. The adults stayed up late […]

Posts and Utes and Amazing Friends

Pulling out posts with ute and brute Some people who know me (especially the ones in Adelaide) might be surprised to see me revving the guts out of the ute in an attempt to pull posts out of the ground. My wonderful big spunky husband is at the post, ensuring that the heavy-duty wire sling […]

Spinny spin-spin

My first attempt at spinning – using a drop spindle made of myrtle. I keep this in my car for when I have some spare time to spin on the run! (not actually whilst driving)  This week I went to the local spinners and weavers meeting. It was awesome! My mother-in-law gave me a spinning […]

Life going on

Pardon me for not blogging for a while (actually, I did blog, but I ‘saved’ my post rather than ‘publishing’ it). We have been terribly busy hanging out with our new friends! Plus, there are all these ruddy festivals every weekend, so we’ve been so busy socialising and going out that I haven’t been posting. […]

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 […]

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 […]
