We have had a wonderful week enjoying the “Taste Festival” a 7 day annual food and wine event in Hobart, and of course watching the yachts coming in for the Sydney to Hobart race. Mal has had a full does of boats (he is in his element) seeing the winner (Wild Oats XI) come in from the rocks just near our home at 6.30am, checking all the boats in Constitution Dock every day and even watching them come across Storm Bay from the comfort of our home !!!! We have loved it all.

We are now heading into a busy few weeks with all the kids, Michael, Rebecca, Guy and Murray, visiting at some stage with partners and grand kids, Rosie and Creed. Murray and Showte are here with us at the moment.
