A Birthday

It was our youngest Grandchild's Birthday on the 27th October.  Master Z was 8 years old, he is pictured here at his house with his mum our daughter in law.  I must say the birthday cake was ever so tasty.  Eldest son took the photo of his wife and son.

The video was taken at Tail Race Park where we used to have many birthday parties when the children were younger, grandchildren that is.  It's by the Tamar River on the other side of town, has a play area for the children, barbecues under cover, and a good walking track.

We went out to dinner Friday night and had to meet my husbands two sisters and one husband.   We parked the vehicle went inside the restaurant Steve's Grill said who we were but no table booked under the name, husband looked at message on his phone only to discover he had the wrong night, wasn't Friday night as he thought it was Saturday night. We apologized headed to the vehicle and it was raining so we sat in it and said, 'what are we going to do now'. We headed back to Steve's Grill and had a meal.  Scallops, chips and salad, you can see that I have half eaten my meal as there were 12 scallops.  Yes, we went there again last night (Saturday) met the husbands family ate and got home about 1am in the morning after visiting eldest sister in law for the remainder of the evening.

Down in the Bush

Often we go for a drive into the bush just to see what is there or go a different way to some place, often we have to turn around and come back because we come across a gate that is locked in that bush. 

The roads are often logging roads which means trucks go into or have been in the past to collect logs and taken them to be chipped at a mill somewhere within this State of Tasmania, Australia.  Wood chipping isn't a big thing these days and usually the logs are from trees planted some years ago.

The photos below are from one of our trips into the bush...

The first photo is of 'Man Ferns', (Dicksonia Antarctica).

The last photo some pretty foxgloves (Digitalis)
