Nice pics Elle. Hi Star, Hey Candee.
I'm heading south to Tasmania. We're driving the first 1600km, then getting on a ferry for the 11 hour trip accross the strait. Hubby is racing vintage motorcross there for four days, and I will visit my brother, (whom I have not seen since 2000) while we are there, then we do it all in reverse, with a stop to see my Daughter for her 21st.
Tasmania is very cold at this time of year, and I just returned from a shopping trip where I bought a jacket and some long sleeved shirts! If I don't get them too worn or dirty, I might donate them to my daughter, as its cold where she lives too.
My teacher in horticulture gave me an assignment to do, on microclimates and plant species, in the areas I visit. If I produce and present a document on it when I get back, I will pass the assessments they are doing while I'm absent. I will be missing out on a visit to a resort garden while I'm gone, but who knows, one day I might get there as a paying customer, and anyway, home is like a resort (but I'm the hired help) LOL
So I'll stick around until Saturday night, and if i can get to a computer while I'm away, I will drop in with some photos. (I also bought a 1 gig memory card, holds 1000 photos!)
Keep up the flowers while Terri's away! I can't do much to help from here as I'm swamped with getting organised (says she as she begins an hours marathon wading through the forums!)
It feels strange without her already!
