a sense of place

I've been away: 3 days and night on the sunny southern Gold Coast, visiting my family, old friends and the town I grew up in. The weather was gloriously hot and sunny and the people pleased to see me.

I returned to a very cold and grey Hobart last night and I have to say damn it's good to be home. You can keep your beaches and palm trees, just give me the Mountain, brooding over the city, the Derwent, grey and slatey today and the wonderful folk who make up my Tassie company.
