We have been so busy the past couple of months, both exploring more of Tassie and working on our bush block.<\/p>\n

We promised ourselves we would do as much in the first year on our improvements and that would be it. Overall we are sticking to this plan, as 12 months will be up living in Tassie on the 21st June. The only change to the home to be done in the future will be the addition of a wine cellar !<\/p>\n

We head off in the caravan around Tasmania for a couple of months on the 5th June for June and July, then home again for August and part of September, before flying to Italy and France for 2 months. Between now and 5th June, I head over to Perth to babysit the grandkids, Rosie and Creed, while Bec and Steve head to Byron Bay for a wedding.<\/p>\n

Mal has been busy helping Kathy and Michael, one of our sons and daughter-in-law, and also now our nearest neighbours (1 km away), with some home improvements. He enjoys helping out and seems to have great creative ideas for a draftsman !!!<\/p>\n

Below are some pics taken over the past couple of months….<\/p>\n
