2026 travel plans

“Lambs lettuce” and salsify also make this sad list of healthy veggies that are near impossible to find here. And I’m sure you could grow the former at least!

You can! We’re currently between houses, but our prior house had a veggie garden & my (German) better-half sourced lamb’s lettuce seeds.

We’ve seen it on occasion at Harris Farm or Panetta Mercato, although normally sold as mâche (and the seeds often sold as corn salad).

Got a few nights in Launceston at the end of June. VA had $79 one way tickets from Sydney so grabbed those and got an AirBnB for only a little over $100 a night in the heart of town. Cheap break. Will be nice and chilly by then but will be good to have our first decent look around town in a long time.

Launceston punches way above it's weight for food, drink, coffee, all the stuff I'm into!

OK, well here's the year so far:

• Started on the Disney cruise between SYD-HOB (still working on the TR, two more days of the cruise to cover)
• Jan - crashed Mr Katie's boys' week in Radelaide for the starting weekend. Ate lots and did lots, and Mr Katie got antsy because he was in Adelaide and not riding ... yet ... !
• Mar - WLG dinner with Mr Katie.
• Apr - Easter in MEL, conference trip to PIT and then a long weekend in SIN.
• Aug - not confirmed, but may be a 1-week trip to help the Teen relocate to a secret location for a College Program.
• Sept - CHC weekend
• Oct - YVR and CLT for conferences, back to back, and maybe a weekend with the Teen at the secret location in the middle.
• Nov - CHC overnighter
• Dec - Christmas/New Years trip to secret location to visit the Teen for Christmas week, then do some fun tourist stuff the following week in other locations. Don't need to be back in Australia for NYE birthday.

So 2027 needs to be the year of the Euro Christmas ... though that would be two Christmases in a row away from the Grandparent squad, siblings and niblings.

Another vote for Lonnie. If you like a steak, try out the Black Cow

My brother lives just outside Lonnie... Rosevears pub is a stroll down the road, a vino and a bite to eat over looking the Tamar is rather special and so Aussie
