Coral Expeditions Cruise ship

The Coral Expeditions Cruise Ship went past home the other day on its 16 night circumnavigation of Tasmania.  It spent 2 days in the Tamar River to visit Launceston and the vineyards along the river.

Happy New Year 2021

 We had a quiet relaxing New Year's Day.  We didn't get to see the New Year in as we had a busy working day on New Year's Eve.  


All ready for the New Year.


Table all set to celebrate


Bottle of bubbly at the ready.


Almost midnight.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I never get tired of this view.

We moved to Blackwall 16 years ago.  And I never get tired of the ever changing views from our front window. Beautiful afternoon sunset glow...
