29th December - Taste of Tasmania - Sydney Hobart boats - family ties


Monday 29th December

Up the mast (Comanche)
Today we caught the bus to town, with two total novices to the Metro system. 

Harry and Lizzie
They were delighted; the whole trip down the hill to the GPO was AWESOME.  It was bright and sunny and balmy.  A light breeze rippled through the air…


We took Harry and Lizzie to watch a busker doing his thing in the cool balmy breeze…which gradually strengthened…


and became a blustery storm!


We sheltered in the Taste of Tasmania shed, while the rain lashed the glass louvres and frightened the crowds quite a lot.

The rain desisted; the wind died down and we were able to stroll around and look at the boats already in the dock.

The clouds are still just a bit black!
Next stop – a visit to my South Hobart family.  Lizzie and Eva had never met…they are three months apart in age.  Lizzie was wearing her navy and blue dress with the red pocket, very new.  With plaits and sandals.  Within minutes Eva had plaits and sandals…and her own very new navy and blue dress with the red pocket.  SO cute!

Lizzie and Eva
On the way home we had drinks at Kathy and David’s, to meet their new grandson Levi

Elsa with Levi
and their old grandson Hamish.

Hamish with James
I so love all these new generations of offspring…

David had found an old volume, circa 1978, maybe, of Snowdon’s Tasmania.  In it – a random photo of a busker, with two of my daughters plus…a random little boy. Who is he??

Random kiddiewink, Claire, Nicky (1978??)
