From Loraine and Kevin
Hi Glen and Roz,
Sounds like you are very comfortable with Tassie Time. We are looking forward to your arrival back. Loved your account of your trip to the Pub in the Paddock. If Glen needs projects to keep him busy, I have one in mind for him - toy garage/service station. Am interested to know who the Gingin people you met were. Mum is here for a couple of days (Sat/Sun). She is looking forward to getting away from the confines of Parklands for a break, even though she is out quite often. Hope you are enjoying the Easter break and gearing up for the trip home. Love from Loraine and Kevin xx
Response: Silly me didn't ask their names, they had a property for many years and recently sold it and moved to Chittering I think. Hope you have a Happy Easter, tried to ring Mum I see she was with you, will try tonight. LOL Roz
From Loraine and Kevin
Dear Glen & Roz,
Well done little sister. You do a very good little blurb and it keeps your big sister very happy. It would be so easy to just slip into Tassie time and dream of real fresh fish, real berries, real cheese and cream. Haven't heard much about the good "reds" though. Mum is fine. I've been playing too many bowls this week - one day to go - and then thankfully it is the weekend. You are on countdown here for your imminent arrival back in the West. Happy travelling, Love from Loraine and Kevin
Response: Dear Sister and Kev, good to hear from you. Have had the odd red or too but the Tassie ones are a bit expensive. Missing you all, see you soon xxx
From wendy

Response: Hi Wendy & Fred
Good to hear from you and know someone is reading my homework! Hope you are both fine and getting some quality time together. xxxx
From Loraine and Kevin
Talk about a gourmet's travelogue. We expect you to try some of the recipes out on us when you get home. We can imagine what a sobering reminder Beaconsfield is of the disaster that happened. I think you're becoming very comfortable in Tassie. Love from Loraine & Kevin
Response: I will be going on a water diet for 12 months when I get home! If you believe that you believe anything! We are having a great time, off to Launceston today and another special lunch place, no doubt. Love from us
From Nasser & Busaban
Hi our Mates, Good health and enjoying life seems to be your order of the year as you slum it around Tasmania, we hope that you continue to have your fish caught, cleaned & cooked for you so that you can enjoy the wine that washes it down, life can be a bitch some time, best wishes & good luck with the remainder of your safe vacation around the ABC state, Regards Nasser & Busaban
Response: Hi there, glad you found the page OK. It seems we are eating our way around Tassie, the food is so fresh and good. Hope Busaban is having a great holiday. Love, Roz & Glen

From Loraine & Kevin
The Eastern coast looks like magnificent. The colours are extraordinary. Loving the description of all the fresh seafood. How much chocolate from Cadbury's is left? Saw Mum yesterday and she is very good. Keep well. Love from Loraine and Kevin
Response: Only got 7 blocks of caramello left and luckily Lee likes it so she can have most of it. Love to you both from Roz & Glen
From Ashlee & Danny
Hi there....if you went from Hobart up to Coles Bay you were heading up the East Coast not the West Coast! Maybe "Tom" was trying to get you lost!! Hope you are still enjoying yourselves. Lots of love, xxx
Response: Sorry, got my coasts mixed up

From Loraine & Kevin
Hi Roz & Glen,
Loving all the diary entries. You are refreshing a lot of memories for us. Tassie is such a great place, something different around every corner. I'm putting on weight just reading about the visit to the Cadbury factory. I'll run off a copy of your diary for Mum to read. She is coming for lunch with Jan and Hayden. Keep on motoring, love from Loraine and Kevin
Response: Thanks for your comments, good to hear from you. Love to you both and Nanna xx
From Kim N Matt
Hi guys, wow it sounds like you are having a ball. I am so jealous I love Tassie and alot of the places you have been Kath and I ventured to on our expedition to Tassie 3 yrs ago - just breathtaking. Sounds like you will come home 5kg heavier :) We are all well here, always something going on though. Greg and Dawn flew into town last week and Greg is already working - he is back with Mitchells driving trucks so it wont be long and they will be on their feet again. My house is on the market again so lets see what happens there, we all have big plans will fill you in when you get back. The boys are off to Thailand in April with Murray WOW they wont know what hit them. Anyway love you heaps and miss you lots. Take care and drive carefully around those hilly bendy roads. xxxx
Response: Can't wait to hear about the big plan! We are taking care and rely pretty heavily on our friend TomTom. Our new one arrived via Lee and is working great. Gee the boys will have a great trip I am sure. Love you all from us both
From Fred and Wendy
Hi fron Kuna-f#2*ing-nurra
the top of Western Australia to the bottom of Australia. I was in Perth the last week called at the "Beach Shack" but as usual you weren't home (your never bloody home). But it was good to talk to you today we were worried you may have fallen off the perch or backed up the wrong driveway and couldn't get down (clutch burnt out or something) From the look of your diary I think we'll have to do that trip soon with "The Old Couple Tour Guide Inc" if you'll be up to it again. Well I can't think of anything else good to say so I'll sign off now and work on the next note
Best Wishes Fred and Wendy
Hi Fred & Wendy, good t hear from you. We keep telling you to hurry up and retire and take off. We will be a full bottle on it by the then. Keep working towards that day. Love, Roz & Glen
From Rennie
Hi Pop n Roz

Response: Hi Ren, we can't always get coverage but when we do we will send a message. We are meeting your mum & lee tomorrow when they pick Ash up and we will collect our mail from them. We are off down south then and will come back later when our friends leave and spend more time with Lee. Love to you all xxx Pop & Roz
From Loraine & Kevin
Hi Roz & Glen,
Good to get the updates, plus happy snaps. Read your last epistle over the phone to Mum. She loved it. Keep well, and happy travelling. Love, Loraine & Kevin
Response: Hi there, we are now heading down south after we meet Lee & her mum for lunch tomorrow. We will come back later and spend more time with them. We have had lovely fresh fish, raspberries and cherries and icrecream and cheese of course. xx
From Loraine & Kevin
Roz, My last message hasn't been posted yet. You can also "upload" your photos via "Picassa" as well, as I have done with our NZ trip. Picassa then "invites" your nominees to access the site to see all your dozens of snaps. Glad to read all the news. Waiting for the next instalment. Love Loraine and Kevin
Response: Good to hear from you. Photos will be a bit slow because it still seems to eat up the downloads. Will try and downsize them and see if it makes a difference. We are just outside of Burnie on the beach. Hope to catch some penguins tonight. Have visited the cheese factory and bought bundles of cheese to have with our wine whilst watching the sunset over the water. Hope you are all OK, love from us xxx
From Ash & Danny

From Lee
Hi Pop and Roz, a parcel arrived today from Fred and Wendy. Don't know what it is? Hope you don't feel too sick from all the cherries?
Response: Hi we will pop over one day to get it, perhaps we could meet you in Launceston but after the letter arrives. Cherries are huge and beautiful!!!
From Ash & Danny
Finally!! This was a bloody good idea!! looking forward to some more photos and some dialogue about your travels.
Take care, xxx
Response: Having trouble with the camera batteries, when we sort it out there will be lots more photos.
From Lee
What a fabulous idea.....much better than e-mail!
Looking forward to catching up.....I think you had better go the "long" way around and give me a bit more time to get the shed tidy:)
Response: Make sure it is, we will be there sooner than you think!
From Heather and Bevan
Hi guys, what a cool way to keep us up to date with your travels - you have seemed to have left the hot weather and run into some more hot weather - no fires this past week when I was on roster - amazing. Everyone is fit and well and hot
Response: Good news, we are still taking the mild weather with us. Have arrived in Sheffield and are catching up with Don and Kaye tonight. We stayed with them last time we were here in Sheffield. Love to all xxxx
