Cycling Tasmania Day One
It is the start of something new for us, a cycling tour. We have to be at our meeting point in Launceston for 9:00 am which means an early departure from the Stables. This proves to be not a problem and...
Travels
A return visit…
Everyone we run into keeps telling us that we have to visit the Gorge in Launceston. So off we go. Besides we need to update the blog, do laundry and pick up some groceries for supper because I went and...
The Stanley Nut
Just to prove we are still able to "do mornings" we were up at 6:30 and gone by 8. We could have been gone by 7 but where is the holiday and civilized in that? We are currently in a village 12 km west...

Machu Picchu
One of the most famous of all things Peruvian! Actually there are many many things Peruvian that are fairly astounding. The diversity of natural things and historic events make for great reading and...
Workshop Three
Braiding with Nilda Callanaupa. This sounds simple enough ... well it wasn't! It is a lot mind boggling to understand the different ways one can manipulate any number of strands to form a single length...
