Hello blog land

Well, not sure whos reading this but I'm enjoying writing it!

We have the lovely bob in from RACWA tours for a few nights. They are a lovely bunch and Bob is always infectious with his good humour and sunny disposition.

Bit of a quiet week ahead, good time to get stuck into gardening and the like. I have been progressively de-weeding the rear garden area, and it occurred to me as I roamed on all fours with my weed picker thingy that the lawn looked pretty green from a distance, and that was largely due to the huge quantities of green flat leafed weeds in the garden, as opposed to the smaller clumpings of actual lawn. Since I found my weed depicker thingy, I have become like a woman possessed- itching to pull out each one of those weeds one by one. I kind of get the same feeling I get when presented with fresh clean unpopped bubble wrap- irrisistable urge to pop all those bubbles as quickly as possible! It's actually quite carthartic I think, and one tends to ponder things quite deeply as one pulls and tugs at the fuzzy green patches. Mind you, owing to several blisters now on my hands, I am not able to do much more than 10 minutes at a time. And let me tell you dear bloggy readers, that ain't going to cut it. It will take me more than a month of Sundays to get to all of those weeds.

The poor lawn at present, is looking somewhat like a chicken that has been progressively plucked of it's feathers, with little pock marks where once there was a green weed. But time is of the essence, and I have to concede some weed defeat at this point and seek assistance in the form of a bottle elsewhere.....So off to the garden centre roamed I today in search of weed killer and lawn feeder. I was delighted to see that some clever gardening type somewhere, has invented a single liquid that will do both, so I promptly bought it and intend to give the lawn a good going over tomorrow.

So if you are passing though and stopping with us on your next sojourn to Sunny Tasmania, please come and check out my rear garden- weed free hopefully, by the time you get here.

Have a great evening all

May the weed be with you - and not with me!

Cheers

Lucky Cow

Breezing along the tollymore road the other day along the top of table cape, I spied some cows along the roadside.

Lush green paddocks, azzurre waters in the distance, a smug look of indifference about them- they did indeed appear to be lucky to me. So I jumped out of the car with my brand new camera and took this snap. I just love it.

They kind of sum up life on the North West coast, great views, clean air, green grass and happy, lucky cows. Of course they are- wouldn't you be if you lived here as well!

Hope everyone had a great day. Warm here today- the water is looking very inviting indeed, but sadly work beckons me!!

Hobart Travel Show

Hi All

Hope everyone is enjoying the heatwave wherever youa re. Frankly I'm just happy to be by the water in this kind of weather, even if I can't necessarily get out to have a swim.

Melissa and I were in Hobart this last weekend for the Hobart Travel SHow, coordinated by the Travel and Tourism Information Centre in Hobart. The idea of the show is to promote travel within the state- so encouraging all you Hobartians out there to get in your car and come and see us for a weekend away.

Ok- so whilst we weren't overwhelmed by thousands of visitors, there were a few about and we made the most of getting the word out about the North West Coast of Tassie being the holiday destination of choice!

It was great to meet and chat to a few of you and it sounds liek The North West Coast is definately on the radar for most of you- either that or it may have been the free trufflkes and chocoaltes we were handing out that was on the radar..... etiher way people looked keen!

As I don't venture down to Hobart too foten I forget how beautiful it is. We were especially lucky with the weather, it was just delightful and of course it wasn't all work!

The Salamanca markets were on on Saturday morning and well, what's a couple of girls like us going to do with that dangling under our noses- head for the markets that's what!

There were stacks of people there- so maybe we should set up a market stall next time! We both managed to do a bit of Early Christmas browsing and shopping.

All up it was a very productive weekend away- chance to chat to everyone and a few people in the industry along the way.

Have a great day everyone! Cheers Cyndia

Been a bit slack with the old blog arooney. So a quick update on what's happening here.

Have a great new zealand tour through today and yesterday, from Crowleys Coach Tours- they are always good fun and have been coming here for years. It makes Justin feel a tad homesick for the old country I think. When they all get together it can get tricky to understand them particularly when "chilly bins" and "jandels" are being talked about.

Well, Missy our receptionist, and I are off to Hobart tomorrow for the Hobart Travel and Leisure show. We will be on the North West Coast stand hopefully meeting lots of people and telling them how great it is up this way. So if you are in Hobart this weekend- come and say hi!

Take care eveyone
