Hi All, I am sitting in the Virgin business clas lounge awaiting our flight to Hobart which leaves this afternoon. We arrived in plenty of time for our flight this morning, however our ticket was for the 10 March ....... Not today the 10 Feb..... Unfortunately unable to get any reimbursement from the return tickets as they are the non fleet ones!!! And jetstar didn't have any tickets for today...so over to the virgin counter... And so here we are $1300 poorer and waiting .... However there are advantages. The lounge is very comfy. Shopping downstairs Reece has bought two pairs of shorts, I have a pair of pants and top and even got to the Benefit Brow Bar and now I have beautiful eyebrows!!!!!! Never mind... The weather poopy today very overcast so would e have got to the beach.
So back to Hobart... We did enjoy our time at Cockle Creek, but the March flies got the better of me and we then moved on to Franklin where there is a fantastic wooden boat building place , the to Cygnet. Very cute town only an our from Hobart. This is where the gourmet farmer is filmed for SBS. Matt Evans was a Food critic and has moved there and has a farm, growing veg etc etc, we had beautiful lunch at the red lounge ? Unsure if name... Anyway it was very nice. I have been quite surprised ow dry Hobart is. But I have learnt that it is the second driest city in Aust after Adelaide. It also looks a bit like it needs a big was, some water on the gardens and the houses need some TLC? Perhaps I haven't seen the really nice parts of Hobart, but there sure are some pretty ordinary spots. Our dear friend Freddie Tucker is sailing a oat from Adelaide to Tassie so we will meet p with him when he arrives in Kettering later in the week. We are planning a few days on Bruny Island then we will head north to Launceston. Am looking forward to catching up with our friends Jill and Joe Poupe whe are in Launceston. And then dearest Vivi Lloyd arrive March 5 to have some time with us. So Reece will be in the spare bedroom ie the swag!!!! And Viv will be in his bed!!!!will be such fun
Just going to get a champers.....
