Highlights of my time in Victoria 21-29 March: Over a full week with Sweetheart Vivienne (lucky me). Brunch with Peter and Vonne. Afternoon tea with Jo and Jim. Darling Emily’s birthday dinner (delicious Greek food). Taking darling Indigo and Jarrah to and from school (several times). Beating darling Indigo at Snakes & Ladders (several times). Darling Jarrah’s virtuoso trapeze skills. Darling Pepper revelling in her newly acquired walking prowess. Darling Zephyr’s joy when I presented him with a genuine firefighter’s helmet. Darling Meg’s mouthwatering banana cake. Feeding darling Pepper coffee froth (several times). Cooking chips that wouldn’t cook. Cooking pizza that would (and did). Darling Kate’s superb salads, and amazing apple and rhubarb pie. Darling Indigo’s reading and writing. Darling Brendon’s barista-standard coffee (several cups). Writers Group with darling Meg at Cliffy’s. Patching up some broken fencing and mattocking out some gorse patches. Helping darling Brendon at the Abbotsford Convent Slow Food Farmers’ Market. Saturday arvo with Sue and Jeffrey. And calm voyages there and back on the Spirit of Tasmania. What a time I had. Thanks, everyone.
