In November, Katie and I made significant progress on our Tasmania project, meeting with electricians, builders, and various service providers.

On the way there we had a call from airbnb saying the host had cancelled the booking! This was followed by a call later to say that it was … [Read more…]
After we left Cornwall, given the weather was ok, we took the scenic route across Dartmoor. Bleak in places, but breathtaking too. The weather held up so well for us, we have been very fortunate.
