Snug bushfire memorial
Margate train
Margate train with half a blogger.
Hi Folks,
A quieter day today after yesterdays toil.After a some little jobs first up we took a spin down to Snug another of these cutely named Tassie towns to check out their market which was quite small but did have a good fudge stall.
One little gem was the Snug Bushfire memorial constructed in 2007 for the 40th anniversary of the the fires which destroyed much of the town. Not costing a fortune, thoughtful, neat with good information boards and a garden of fire resistant trees and shrubs.
From Snug we journeyed to Margate to the Train which is a string of old carriages converted to shops. Susan bought a second hand Providore book covering some of the gourmet food producers on the island. She has an idea to get the ones she meets to sign their profile. By the time we had returned to Woodbridge and lunched some fairly heavy showers had settled in.
Susan did some house cleaning while I tethered the greenhouse tomato's and cleaned a fine spray nozzle. One bizarre moment was standing in the greenhouse under bright sunlight with rain hammering on the polycarbonate roof.
The showers lessened and we ventured into the garden for weeding of our various areas. We called a halt at 6 and popped in for a simple tea of vegetables and some nice sausages purchased at the supermarket behind our Salamanca stall. Dessert ? fudge! Tea was after 8 a virtue of daylight saving and a tradition of tea at dusk. The sun is still up early here before 530 and I feel that Tasmanian could use double daylight saving. I guess it would tend to make tea and the events of after tea such as blogging even later!
The weather is on the up so a long day in the garden tomorrow with a ferry ride to Bruny Island Tuesday weather permitting.
Night folks
Simon
