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 […]
Birthday cake
We have a tradition that when Monte’s parents visit us, we have a birthday cake to celebrate the birthdays that we have missed and will miss whilst we are apart. It is a way of connecting and celebrating together because it is during the special times, such as birthdays, when we really notice that we […]
Huon Show 2011
We went to the Huon Show on the weekend. It was a lovely day, weather wise, and we had a fun time. I remember that last year, Elora was a newborn baby at the show, and it took us a few hours to walk around the main oval! That old post is over here. This […]
Chicken casserole
Chicken casserole. I had 90 minutes to make dinner. I was in a hurry and this worked out really well. A simple on-the-spot recipe. Elora was whingeing. Monte was absorbed in his work. I’d accidentally allowed Georgia and Matthew to eat leftover lollies from Elora’s party (another post). Things were a bit hectic but I […]
Winter Challenge

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, […]
Vanuatu
We have recently returned from a wonderful holiday in Vanuatu! My whole family went to celebrate my mum’s 60th birthday. Mum and dad flew their kids and in-laws over and we had a brilliant time. I met my American brother-in-law and niece for the first time. I saw my sister for the first time in […]
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 […]
