Happy New Year

Thank you for all your delightful comments and emails over the holidays.  For the last 10 days we have been tripping around Tasmania in our camper, visiting friends and enjoying the summer.

When Katy was just 1 year old we headed on an adventure to Lake Pedder in the South West Wilderness, the wind was so strong that the tent nearly blew away, we had to tie it to the car. That was 36 years ago, this time we were 'blown away' (so to speak) by the calm waters, pure white sand and peaceful evening.


 
We were able to camp right on the beach.
 
Our 10 day holiday was a perfect time to do a 9 piece ensemble.

    Being in the US, Tasmania has always seemed the place of cartoons - with the Tasmanian devil - lol. Thank you for sharing photos from your vacation!

    1. Thanks Deb, here in Launceston we are fine. Our friends down south were evacuated, their home is ok so far.

  6. Beautiful, Shelly. Love your tangle and the wonderful photos. Hope you are managing to stay cool and well away from the bushfires! I'm hoping for a bit of respite here in another day or two when some cooler temperatures arrive in Melbourne.
