Winter musing

I am thinking about my next Blogblodwyn post but also musing on life in Triabunna.

My friend, Mel, died just before I left for Wales and I haven't properly said goodbye to her yet.

This is Snowy who was Mel's dog when I first met her.  Snow is an old dog now.  I took him for short walks while Mel's Dad spent time at the hospital.

Jill is also an old dog, though not as old as Snowy.  She and Miya mostly spend Friday Pizza Nights companionably together.

There is nothing Jill likes more than a walk around town to pick up her messages.  I like to see traditional Triabunna sights like a fishing boat up on the slips.

And I've also vowed to explore beyond Tribes in future, so Jilly and I drove to Swansea, bought a scallop pie and continued on to Dolphin Sands to eat it.  In this spirit of exploration, I took a road new to me and found us a pontoon on the Swan River.

After Jill had a good look around, we backtracked to Dolphin Sands and spent some time on the beach with Freycinet almost a stone's throw away.

There are also delicious Sundays when Georgia invites Jill and me to afternoon tea.  Jill eats Miya's food just like Miya eats Jill's food when she visits us.

Exploring locally, I found a dam on land destined to be a new subdivision with retirement village and nursing home.  Definitely a space to watch.

I spent the King's Birthday  volunteering at PUBS.  I have my name down to cover the public holidays.  This book caught my eye having recently spent time with Spanish Rose working out how to get from here to there on the tube.  Maeve Binchy has a very clever mind.
