The castle looks very exciting Mich. I don't like ginger, but I love the flavour it gives to things. I'm just weird.  ;D
It looks like you are having great fun. Are you only away for Easter?

We are here until Sunday and then an over night stay at Coffs Harbour and home on Monday 13th. Would have stayed 2  more nights but need to get mum to a Dr's app on the 14th.

Today we we to Montville - such a pretty town. Loads of shopping opportunities. Ģorgeous, beautiful shops.
 By the time I ģot to the bower bird all I wanted to do was go home ānd have a jolly good declutter. Onč shop l couldn't go pass was this

I have a question for those ladies who went to Tasmania last year for the Forum Fest weekend; I am going this October with the Aust. Sewing Guild and would like to know what the weather is likely to be in October; hot or cold. I don't want to take too many clothes.

Troupie we had a couple of beautiful sunny days, a horrid rainy day and the day after I left it snowed on Mt Wellington. I'd take a warm jacket that can go over everything. Long trousers, tops and a cardigan or something similar that goes with everything.

Ditto to Cookies comments Troupie, layers would be a good idea.
You will love it what ever the weather.

Thanks for that information; hard to believe it will be cold in October but I suppose it is a bit further south than Perth. I will have to go and buy winter clothes (I mean make them); don't use many hear.

It snowed in early December when I was in Cradle Mountain Troupie. Be prepared!

I've had it snow in August up near Cradle Mountain and then in January on Mount Wellington.
