What a summer!
I am sad that today is the last day of summer. I do not want the days to be shorter. I do not want the days to be cooler. I don’t want rain or hail or snow and I don’t want frosts (they’ll come soon). I like wearing skirts and shorts and sandals. I like […]

Why not wear one of my new dresses? (not from an op shop this time!) We went to Cygnet today with Maxine, Gordon and little Ella, of course. It was a fun time of coffee, walking, browsing, shopping and having lunch in the cool shade of a quaint cafe. Cygnet is filled with little boutique […]

A lovely sunny day to head to Hobart and the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). I highly recommend a visit to this gallery. Whilst some aspects are confronting, it is a marvellous experience that encourages you to look at things with a fresh perspective. I found that I spent a while gazing at […]

As I write, rain is pouring, thunder is clapping and lightening is flashing at Fangorn! I imagine that our garden is really soaking up the water. The highlight of my day was watching my son make damper. He found the recipe in his new cookbook. He got out and measured the ingredients – I only […]
Huon Show 2011

Winter Challenge
We were proud of our Monte when he ran in the Winter Challenge not long ago. It was a lovely day in Franklin. Lots of athletes were busy preparing for the event. There was a lovely atmosphere, with poeple chatting and watching the runners/cyclists/kayakers participating in their events. The Winter Challenge is a multi-sport challenge, […]
Bushwalking
We are lucky where we are living because we are surrounded by bush and forest, all containing tracks for walking. We live right near the Tasmanian Trail, which runs from Devonport to Dover. The trail consists of linked-up forestry roads. On Anzac Day we decided to spend the afternoon going on a bushwalk. We […]
Anzac Day 2011
Another glorious morning! We went down the street for the Geeveston Anzac march, where Georgia was marching with the Girl Guides. There was a strong sense of community, both during the march and during the memorial service. Lots of different facets of the community were being represented and it was great to see so many […]
