October 2007

I cant believe it, there I was telling every one that spring was here and over night the weather turns back to winter. In fact while every one in Australia is in a drought Hobart has had days of rain, the plants are loving it! and the garden is so green and lush. The fires are on and its a great excuse to stay inside, relax and enjoy the wine cellar without gilt!

I took a photo this morning to share with you the view from the conservatory looking up to Mount Wellington. It looks very cold and is very windy. However it is normally windy this time of year. The October winds they call it.

Last week we sent out our very trendy spring newsletter if you did not receive it just go to the newsletter page and click on subscribe and you will be sent a copy of the latest news. Loic our web designer has done a great job so thanks Loic.

Exciting news, The Islington Salamanca art prize which we are a major sponsor has 44 entries which is just fantastic and the entries are very exciting I can wait to see them. In the middle of October the judges will be deciding on who are the finalists. This is our first year  for the art prize and we are certain that it will be the beginning of a truly wonderful recognition to the arts of Tasmania.

Stay tuned for more gossip soon.
