FIRST YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

gssmith gssmith 2010-08-02 gssmith | 2010-08-02 | Cant believe it been one year since our wonderful wedding day. We spent the day reliving each moment of a year ago. Each time thinking that werent stressed like this time last year. We are very pracitical people, and so didnt buy useless gifts for each other...hoping that we got the right thing? Instead we spent the day with each other buying what we both liked for ourselves together. We had wanted a new outdoor setting for the guest deck, and a fruit and olive tree in large pots.....so that's what we did. On our return journey from that, we had a lovely lunch watching the ocean - blissful. | read more

Top end of Tassie

gssmith gssmith 2010-07-27 gssmith | 2010-07-27 | I have just written to a client wishing to hire our Motor home, about the wonderful things to do and see in our area. I realised how much I have to share with you all about this wonderful neck of the woods. It never ceases to amaze me just how beautiful it is here. If you believe in a higher being, you have to pay homage to this creation. I have seen much of Australia and indeed Europe, and I have come to realise just how lucky we are to live in such beauty. The ever changing fields remind me of Tuscany (Italy), the undulating farm lots remind me of the UK, and just the driving around the whole area has a rural feel of France. Yet we dont have to fly long distances to get here, nor change money, nor worry about our safety from terrorists. How lucky are we? | read more
