Oh there’s also a new-ish Two Thumbs Brewery in Diamond Harbour! At the fire station end of the village (on the way in if driving) rather than walkable from the ferry.

is too choppy for a ferry ride.

There’s also scoop ice cream and other food from the cafe right next to Soul.

We literally just got back home from a drive out to Diamond Harbour. Very good coffees, smoothies and cabinet goodies at Soul Coffee. There are great views from the cliffs out to the harbour, which you’ll come across if you walk up the hill from the ferry. It’s a nice drive though too if the harbour

Hopefully we can turn on the good weather for you!!

We drive through Hampden last weekend and I spotted a surprising number of For Sale signs! I wondered how your sale was going so I’m happy to hear it has worked out.

It’s got my favourite colour all over it! I’d spend ages just looking out those windows.

Congratulations!! Here’s to your next chapter.

Good timing, thanks for asking this! I need to sort some for teen and husband going to Oz soon. I’ve been putting it off bc it feels like a “too hard” task.

The laugh is the most important part, so job done! 😀

Only if you’ve got the capacity for it and still think it would be funny! 🙂

shift responsibility for injury and death from the dangerous conditions that lead to them, to people who make mistakes, goes way back and is so pervasive it’s almost invisible.

It’s pretty gobsmacking.

AND, you can choose if you want to be the first person to take it out on loan. WINNING!
