Christmas 2025

Christmas is always a busy time with work being peak period, getting organised for Christmas and then a little time to ourselves too.  But with all the busyness it's a great time of year with the warmer weather, unless it's a Tasmanian summer with snow falls on Christmas Day on Mt Wellington in Hobart and the Great Lakes in the Highlands, which makes the wind chill factor rather wintery.

Christmas week and the EVs charging for a busy day for Red Post.

Chris with a van loaded to capacity will need

to come back for a second load.

The windy weather caused the tree branch to

fall blocking the road.

YAY.  Christmas Day waffles for breakfast with Mimosas.

All the best for 2026.

Out and about December 2025

We decided to take an early trip to George Town on the Spyder.  I get to take so many photos along the way of the Christmas Decorations.  We took a detour to Swan Point and Paper Beach too.

We stopped at the end of our driveway.

The agapanthus will look awesome in a few days time.

Christmas decorations we saw on our way.

Merry Christmas.
