Autumn in Tasmania is proving to be delightful. Cool fresh clear days with blue skys. Colors changing across the landscape, woodfires burning, people getting around in puffer jackets. Flannelet and wool shirts, beanies and scarfs are common. It is interesting that there is not the 'Bogan' association that exists between flannelet and jeans in Melbourne. Most of the shirts I've seen worn have been carefully ironed and are tucked in, even if the wearer is wearing tracksuit pants!
Tas School holidays have been and gone. we managed to all get to Melbourne for a few days. It was good to catch up with family and some friends. We spent one day up at Kilmore, the kids had a great time, the quad bike was a hit. It was interesting to see the different ways the kids operated the bike. Ella and Kiri were like timid old ladies puttering around. Summer and Will wanted to go fast and hear it roar. it was a it frightening really, sitting on the back yelling "Slow!". the kids thought it was funny, the more you yelled the faster they tried to go and the more they laughed. I'm not sure where they they got that from!
