Geeveston Spring Festival
We headed off to Geeveston for the Spring festival. It was a wet, windy day. The main street was quiet but there were lots of places to see. There was so much good food and wine available; it really showcased the skill in this area. There are so many enterprises, producing food, wine, craft and […]
A day out
We went out on the weekend, whilst Georgie was at a party. No big deal, just an outing to buy plants and do some shopping and go for a bit of a drive. It was a superb day; blue cloudless skies, sunshine and warm temperatures all day. Matthew wanted to look at Sleeping Beauty, so […]
Rainbows
It was a lovely, sunny day, until I hung my washing out to dry and it began to rain. It’s always the way. When I brought my little children home in the afternoon, we watched this rainbow. Matthew noticed that the end of it landed on our property. I suggested there’d be a pot of […]
Botanic Gardens
Last weekend we had a beautiful day out. We went to the royal Tasmanian botanic gardens. What a day! My favourite part of the gardens is the conservatory, where the most beautiful flowers are grown. This time, gorgeous orchids were blooming all around the place. It was so pretty – I could’ve stayed in there […]

Kitchen Surprise!
No, we didn’t eat him! Last night, when I let Naigee the cat inside, I got more than I bargained for when a frog started hopping around the kitchen! It was pouring with rain. I imagine there are frogs everywhere around our house right now. We hear them all the time – night and day! […]
Forestry burn-off
It’s that time of year again. Autumn. And it means that forestry Tasmania is doing its burn-offs. This was what we were faced with on our way home this evening. At first I was thinking how red the clouds were, for there were some pretty clouds and the sunlight was playing on them nicely. However, […]
Why the Huon (Treechange Tuesday)
People sometimes ask me what made us move to Tasmania, and in particular, the Huon Valley. Here are three reasons: These photos were taken when we stopped off at our favourite roadside apple store on our way home from school. This is the Huon River and it is beautiful. I drive along this river practically […]
