Good thing

While you're on a good thing...

Cuppla photos of Orford just south of Triabunna.  One of my plans for 2015 is to explore the local area.  I've discovered beautiful places and lovely walks.

Back in Tribes now and walking along the marina extension.

 I believe this is a squid boat.  Imagine what it would look like at night.

 As well as a working fishing port, Triabunna is trying to reinvent itself as an artists' hub.

There is of course art to be seen everywhere.

 We saw this Frankenstein tree on the Wielangata  Road, a former forestry road.

 We were on our way to Dunalley, one of the towns badly damaged by fires in 2013.

Poor Sis nearly got blown away by an  intense storm that blew up while we were lunching at the Dunnalley pub.

Unbridled joy!!  The joy of Christmas and the joy of being back in touch.  Above is the outdoors Christmas tree decorated with baubles from the op shop.  $2 a packet - how clever is that.  The photo was taken well after Christmas and after a bit of a storm.

Here's the fabulous Wilma teaching me how to prepare cray fish in our kitchen.  I have never eaten so much and such good seafood as I did this Christmas.  Lunch at Liz' was amazing.  The best oysters I've ever  had, like leaping into a crashing wave, abalone, scallops and scallop pies, crayfish galore and we didn't even get to the sack of mussels.  Wilma also gave me those lovely lilies.  I've come to really like the pink walls of our living area.  They seem right with the sunsets and sunrises through the window.

Jake and Sarah came for Christmas tea.  Lovely Father Christmas had brought Sarah some sparklers and Rosie, presumably, had also left some Wentworth sparklers in our laundry for me to discover.

Jake and Sarah stayed a cuppla days.  We drove to Swansea for breakfast  one morning.

 And spent some time on Raspins Beach just down the road on another glorious day.

May the joy and glory of easy blogging continue.

Break in transmission

Sorry about the lack of blogging.  We've had the computer fixed and now it is extraordinarily slow, I can't download photos from my phone and can't upload photos to my blog.  So I may have to write you essays in the future.  Apart from the immense computer frustration, it has been a lovely Christmas holiday break - the longest time I've ever spent at home for years and years.  The weather has been perfect for me, very varied so always interesting and stimulating.  The garden is doing all the right things though much slower than I would like.  The eating has been luxurious.  Read a few books.  Done some local exploring.  Would love to show you some photos!  And last night I thoroughly enjoyed Sherlock on telly.  Sadly back to work tomorrow.
