The walk down the hill to Cygnet (not far down; 50 meters from the Helmsman’s House) Bracing day! #blustery #cygnetbay #luxuryaccommodationtasmania #boutiqueaccommodationtasmania #seasons #viewsforever
A bit of eccentric nonsense... the other day I saw these cast-iron bookends in an Opshop. My mum loved those gallant little creatures - Scotty dogs - all her life and when I saw the book ends, I brought them home to Frenchman’s River because I think she’d have liked that. Now, as you see, they prop up some of the cookbooks in the Writer’s House. I reckon she’d have liked that too. Not least because she was a writer (as I am) and I reckon she was watching when I wrote three of my novels sitting at the Art Deco dinning table here. Eclectic little house, the Writer’s House. And every object has a story.
Late last spring; summer in the wings (November; a sudden blast of warmth.) Gorgeous day at the Helmsman’s House. And always more to come... #spring #summernotfarbehind #seasons #beauty #cygnet #beautifulhouse #awardwinningluxury #cygnetbay #frenchmansriver #thehelmsmanshouse
