well i have been missing, but now am found, i have been to beautiful hobart, tasmania again. so many people who live in melbourne think that going south to hobart requires you take a special wardrobe, as though you were visiting the south pole! well day after day we had a picture perfect day and warm sunshine, another beautiful southern tasmanian day.
i flew down on my dad's 100th birthday, he died at age 96, his last real flight was on his 90th birthday! but i took him with me and scattered his remains at twilight, at kingston beach, where he met and pursued my mother, they married in hobart and so our immeadiate family began its history there. it was a decision i made and am very happy with it, au revoir and bon voyage dad.
thanks to those who have sent me loving messages. a chapter of the book of life is now written and i am content.
there is always something new along the highway and roads i travel and these characters were dotted along, put there by the locals in awareness of rural health in tasmania. there were lots, here are a few!
this girl stands at the corner of the road where i wait for the school bus each morning and afternoon
there are lots more, but stopping to take a photo was not always possible.
this family of geese live on our road also, they were camera shy and took off into the lush grass that is growing everywhere at the moment because of all the beautiful rain that has fallen, and now with all the warmth and sunshine, the farmers are very happy and the bailing season is in full swing.
be back in a few days.
