Visiting Hobart 25 Oct - 7 Nov

Sorry, we missed it Odille. Though the sunset wasn't as good as it looked like being, the high cloud just didn't give us any amazing colours.

Much better! It was a glorious band of Venus that night, I did notice it.

Well, I an off home tomorrow, at 5pm. I've had a wonderful time and discovered something entrancingly new (for me, anyway) being the oasthouses. I have done quite a lot of research at the library and am going to try to get together the draft of a book on the oasthouses of the Derwent Valley, with a good map of where they are and so on, for those who'd like to see them.

I hope to come back in late May or June as I have been more or less promised access to the inside of a working oasthouse - but only in 'off' season - that's why it has to be in winter.

I thought I would publish electronically on the web via Blurb or one of the other book publishing online sites, then refine if necessary and try to interest a publisher. I will want a lot more photos but I have several queries in progress on getting access for more photos of other examples.
