Im just thrilled to have found this wonderful tiny Anson Bros. album.there are about 50 images on tin about the size of my thumb nail in it . The quality is incredible as you can see from the image of the beautiful young man(remember my scanner isn't great)Still the hand colored images are so fresh.They would have been taken between 1870 and 1880.

From the gem album.

Ive just had a couple of days with my dear friend at her newly completed shack(on a small island not far from Cygnet) .Perfect cold ,still and sunny winters days for long walks on the beach.Lots of magnificent food and lots of garden planning.Ive been trying to talk her into planting 3 different varieties of this Hakea , luckily one was flowering magnificently next door, proof that they do really well there and convincing Annie that 3 may not be enough.

Oh lordy,Ive been tagged by a woman who I admire and would rather like to impress .10 things about me.Im no writer Amy.Be brave now Sue,here you go.





1I had a 70s childhood-My Dad used to buy and do up lovely cars but we had no money at all.This was ok ,it taught me to be resourceful-to Op shop(our word for thrift shopping).I have rarely ever bought anything new-I even make my own knickers.
2.As a child I refused to have anything to do with other children.I spent my time alone or with my adopted grandfather,he was a very kind and eccentric Scotsman who taught me about gardening and ancient history.
3.When I was 10 I refused to do anything at school because I detested my teacher-the head of the school let me sit in the high school library for the entire school year.The first two books I read were Wuthering Heights and Christiane F.(Oh dear)

3.When I was 14 I embraced music.Punk, Goth.I couldn't wait to get out of my small home town and do all that rock and roll lifestyle stuff. I went to Art school.I was a barmaid.I saw thousands of bands.I had a lot of fun









3.When I was 29 I backpacked all over the world(saw a lot more bands) and decided to return to Tasmania and live in the country(this was one of the best decisions of my life.)
4.I failed to have an Art career because I have no ambition at all (loads of talent of course).
5.When I get really drunk I have to listen to"The Ace of Spades ".
6.For years I collected Catholic kitsch despite a complete lack of faith in anything.Now I think it was some kind of fetish caused by my mothers lurid descriptions of her Catholic upbringing.
















7.I can't drive a car.
8.I always need to have something to do with my hands.Knitting,sewing,spinning,carving.This apron is the last thing I finished.














9.I love growing food and I love cooking.My partner and I are almost self sufficient and what food we can't grow we barter for with produce from our garden.
10.This is my friend ,partner and love of my life.

I must not waste money on this.......

We have a site called 'Zazz' which sells one thing a day, sometimes good and useful things, sometimes stuff like this. Which I must not buy. Must...... not ..... buy ................
