Weve been to Tassie and got the keys to our house. We arrived in the Huon Valley on the coldest day of the year.....we we're put to the test. Our stuff arrived in the big blue container, and Steve's van came to us on a truck. We spent 2 weeks unpacking, and doing some tree lopping, to improve the view. We gutted the main bedroom, in one day, and I loaded the van with a load of rubbish. The main bedroom will be first on the list to renovate, when we get back down there. We also played tourist and went to the snow capped Hartz Mountains , and on the thrilling Huon River Jet boat, up the Huon River. We enjoyed a taste of living in the area, and although it was chilly, we spent romantic nights around our fireplace, sipping on red wine, and waking up to a glorious view!
Its five weeks to go until we start our new sea change adventure!!! Life is in slow motion but also the weeks are flying
by!! How can that be? We have been living at my mums house. She and Kevan are gracious and giving to put up with us and our baggage,literally covering the lounge room floor. Also not to mention the big bear, German shepherd Sasha. She is trying to learn to be a suburban dog and be well behaved and civilized. She has had her needles to go to her holiday resort Kennel, while we are driving down, and also has to have a worming treatment for Hiddatid within ten days of flying to Tasmania. I feel very displaced at the moment, like a gypsy without a home. With some stuff in Queensland and some stuff in Tasmania, and the overflow on the yacht. I am looking forward to major nesting when we get down to our new home.
