It's now been 2 months since the big move to Tasmania. We're in dairy country here, most of our neighbours have a herd of cows happily grazing in the fields. Sometimes we go for a walk down the big hill, which we don't always do because we then have to walk up the big hill, but it's amusing to see the cows watching us intently as we pass by. The kids love to count all the horses and ponies too. Maybe one day they can go on a ride!
The first month we were house sitting for friends on the other side of the Tamar River but now we're settling in at my parents' house. As we're still finishing the extension, Dan, the kids and I stay in the loft room up in the garage. Each afternoon we make a fire downstairs which warms up the central heating unit in the loft. So far, it's been toasty warm but this week there's been snow over half of Tassie. We're hoping there'll be some here too but so far only hard frost. It was beautiful to see everything covered in ice and I took Lorenzo out early- before breakfast even! - bundled up warm for his first outing in the 'snow'. Of course, he wanted to eat some so we found some icy ferns to taste. The verdict? Watery!
