Simon came to visit Carol in Tasmania. This photo was taken on the east coast on the scenic route from Hobart to Launceston. It was great to have Simon here. We also drove from Launceston to Hobart via the highlands and saw snow. Photos of the snow later.

We've arrived! This is our new home and it has a good feel to it - it already feels like "home". We've organised insulation in the ceiling space and also under the floor of the rooms that don't have carpet. We've had the carpet removed from the dining room and laid in the second bedroom. We need to get the floorboards in the dining room sanded and coated. The kitchen/dining space then offers great potential for remodelling at some time in the future. 

Carol starts work on Monday and Colin returns to Brisbane and to work in West End. Colin will be back in Tasmania to stay from mid June. 

The weather is wonderful - cool and crisp. The sunshine streams into the bedroom and lounge first thing in the morning and then into the dining room for most of the day.

We've had one trip to Hobart which included a visit to Carol's favourite winery on the way home: "Puddleduck". 

We are both looking forward to visits from the Qld part of our family so that we can show them around.
