Hi All,
Today I am going to depart from my usual post format because aside from being under the influence of a haze of white wine that seems to have settled upon me (curiously and most coincidentally) shortly after Kym set foot on Serendipity Farm, I have a plethora of photos to share with you that too many words would negate so here is the past week in images and captions…
The hero who managed to stop Serendipity Farm from drowning single handedly. We had torrential rain that didn’t let up for days and suddenly backed up all of the drains at once and Steve headed out into the deluge and shovelled out all of the blockages single handedly…my hero :o)
Kym and I stayed in Hobart on Saturday night right on the waterfront in Salamanca Place in Hobart. Here you can see the kitchen taken from the stairs leading up to the loft.
Kym managed to capture the spirit of the evening (well the wine of the evening anyway! 😉 )
Kym at least accompanying her wine with some food
crawling up to bed…
A HUGE bathroom with a washing machine and dryer…my kind of luxury!
Small mugs? No problems! Just give me 2 Kymmy and everything will be fine 😉
Delicious breakfasts and another cuppa (or two) set us up for the day
One of the biggest dogs (or smallest horses) that I have ever seen…he managed to slobber all over my coat and leave his hairy calling card behind after I gave him a cuddle…dog lovers don’t care about their clothes when a big cuddle is on the horizon
The coat in question being used to ward off the frigid air of a cold Hobart morning
I doubt they would get many tourists hurrying to sit upstairs on this double decker bus in the middle of winter
At the first lookout point on the way up to the top of Mt Wellington to see the snow
Kym asked me what I thought about the steady stream of cyclists attempting to ride to the summit of the mountain…actions speak louder than words folks!
A typical facial expression that Kym likes to effect…I am starting to get used to it now but if the wind changes Kymmy…you’re stuffed! 😉
“Well looky here…what seems to have found it’s way into my hand?”…
“It’s SOOO heavy…so VERY heavy…”
“OMG did you see that Grizzly bear behind you Fran?! I just tried to stop him from eating you alive!”
“Sigh…”
“There’s that Grizzly bear again Kym!”
“Hang on…I will get him for you!”
“Narf7 saves the day! Another crisis averted…my job here is done!” 😉
“Hmmm…Frank Zappa said “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow”…”
“No yellow here!”
“MMMMM Snow!”
“AAAHHHH BRAIN FREEZE!”
“Here’s lookin’ at YOU Kym (kid)”
Anyone can make a snowman…we made a snow duck :o)
Just to show you how far away Kym was standing because of my AWESOME ability to throw snowballs 😉
At the summit…Kym decides to become a Kymscimo or is that a Kymcycle?
Almost frozen to death after waiting for Kym to find her keys (again…)
Look…Bjork! (and yes…I am thinking about renting Kym out for impersonations…any takers?)
Bezial waiting for his new BESTEST EVER friend to get back from Hobart
Me trying to stop Bezial from drowning Kym in slobber while Earl looks on
Kym fitting in on Serendipity Farm completely 🙂
How was that for a post? A bit different to usual and a bit later than usual but we have a delicious roast chook dinner to cook with roasted veggies, gravy and a HUGE homemade sponge cake to decorate for Kym’s 50th birthday TODAY FOLKS! Feel free to wish her happy birthday through the blog here as she will be here for the next few days (albeit plastered). Now that we are both 50 we are free to be as reprobated as we want to, in fact, we tag teamed on some wineries today and they didn’t know what hit them…”Look out Launceston…you’re next!” ;). See you all next Wednesday when I may (or may not) have recovered from Kym’s visit. I doubt Kym will EVER recover from her visit…sorry Bruce, she might be a shallow husk of the woman that you sent away but she certainly had a good time! 😉
