Happy Daylight Saving!

Any excuse for a celebration.  And I'm not averse to The Tigers.

Yesterday real cause for celebration: The Bean and Co (Botaniko, actually) opened their Port Arthur - An Exotic Garden exhibition at The Village.  It is always awe inspiring to see these works - a very special breed of artists.  The food also was exquisite and I had a very nice glass of bubbly too.  I got home to see the last minutes of the Footy Final, so an afternoon well spent.



I thought you may also like to see these.  One of the cleaners at the school has tended them.  I'm hoping they will survive the windy weather and the school holidays.  You can just glimpse the school bell which was originally at the school on Maria Island.



The new shop, The Rusty Devil, opened today.  It sells Tasmanian produce aimed at tourists.  I'm very pleased that this includes King Island cheeses so I don't have to travel to Richmond or Sorell to get good cheese.

    Rusty Devils Rule, and what a classy example of the breed is on show! I can make no reference to ball games of any code. Such matters are best left to the specialists. and we will await your advice. B&B

    Yay for Richmond. Steve was suitably elated. Of course we're now absorbed in the American version and you'll find us, popcorn bowls on laps, every Monday morning, glued to the big screen. Ah the joys of retirement. The Rusty Devil here we come. 5 weeks to go. And what is that intriguing flower???? Should I know it? FF

    Dear Lady Jayne, I gave up Ball games a long time ago. I should have done so when I got 4/20 for Miss Pfeiffer's tennis test. I was too chuffed that I got twice The Beagle's score!!

    Dear Floosie, I'll get back to you. I think I have the answer.

    The Glorious Bean thinks it's a Gymea Lily - an Australian native.

      Wow. They grow well in Queensland. I had one in Portland! But it was in the ground, not a pot. I was told they take a while to flower so while mine grew well, alas no bloom. From the pics I have seen they grow very tall. And in your blog - there are two of them, both in flower. Well done Triabunna! FF
