Life in Tasmania's Huon Valley, by a blow-in from the mainland

Timber!
It was a bit of a sad day yesterday, as we said goodbye to a small stand of beautiful gum trees. However they were a little too close to the house, both from a fire and wind perspective, and blocked a lot of sunlight from the house, garden and the solar panels in winter. Well, we now have a good future firewood supply on hand.
Oh no! But it does look good though! And needed to be done. I've recently planted a row of small flowering gums and on the lookout for a bottlebrush....can't wait for them to be big, big, big and give us a little privacy! Have a lovely weekend x
Escaped Sydney in 2010 for a piece of paradise in Tasmania's Huon Valley. I'm a keen walker, remote worker, incompetent gardener, Bernese Mountain Dog owner, fan of almost anything German (food, language, cars, beer), amateur linguist, chook fancier, childfree.
