Tasmania has around 50% of the worlds legal poppy production. These are great signs!

Hi All,
We awoke to cloudy skies that quickly gave way to warm sunny conditions of around 21C.
Susan and Kaye departed to Devonport at 830 to make charity Christmas "pudlings" for the Zonta group. I started slowly and did a few odd jobs, the dishes, shovelled out the combustion heater and raked out the fire adding a few more branches. The main job of rejigging the curtain rods fell over due to the discovery of an unbeknownst joint which rendered the task impractical.
After Susan returned and lunch was consumed we drove to three open gardens in the local area. They all had something different and unique to offer and we spent a pleasant afternoon in the sun strolling around them. The small world syndrome struck again at the last. Susan in conversation found the owners were from Mount Compass and that they lived adjacent to and know Terry and Denny who are the parents of Matt the father of Susan's grand children. After ice creams in Sheffield we returned home for a short break before leaving for our dinner date at Glencoe House with Kaye and Eric. The food was excellent as was the wine, the company and the hosts.
Another tough day in the country. We could see ourselves living here!
Cheers Simon
