new norfolk - old bits

bb and i went for a drive to new norfolk on the weekend. we explored some of the amazing antiques and collectable shops out there. we hadn't visited for a while so there was lots of new spots to explore and things to see. the drill hall emporium is always a favourite and this visit didn't disappoint. we also stopped in at 20th century artefacts and the willow court antique centre. such great collections, we could have spent days searching through everything on offer! 

equality

bb & i attended a rally in hobart yesterday to support the proposed change to legalise same-sex marriage in tasmania.  it was a horrible gloomy winters day so it was lovely to see that so many people turned up to support this important cause. exciting times on the apple aisle.

making dumplings!

queensland

at the beginning of the week, bb & i took a quick trip to queensland. it was a dear friend's birthday and the perfect excuse to see the sun. it always amazes me how warm it can be in brisbane in july! we were only away for a couple of days but it was lovely all the same. we got to visit goma which i thought was fabulous and most importantly we got to catch up with lots of buddies who live in the north.

max & ruby

i was so excited yesterday when we dropped mabel off at club k9 to meet 2 little whippet babies & their lovely mum!  ruby and max are absolutely divine and this morning we were so lucky to have them come over to play with mabel. it was the perfect way to start the weekend.

north & south

bb, mabel & i have spent the last 2 saturday nights at the far ends of our beautiful state.

last saturday we headed north to spend a night on the top edge of the island. 24 hours full of tasty treats (vongole pasta, my favourite!) lovely buddies and beautiful blue skies.

then last night we took a trip south. back to where it all began. we spent a glorious night with the first friends we made when we moved here. so great to see them and so lovely to spend a night rugged up in their gorgeous farm house. life is good...

friends, wine & cheese

last night bb & i had a lovely time at the hill street wine and cheese club. i always love a trip to the hill street grocer but this was a real treat. 

we learnt about some amazing cheeses and tassie wines and got to share the experience with some delightful locals...

and to top it all off - after many many months of online chatter it was so so lovely to finally meet kate from the apple aisle. a truly lovely lady...
