An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Tasmania, Day 2
Early Friday morning in Launceston and we going to Wynyard, the main mission of adventure in Tasmania
Launceston 8.30 am β¦ and the green hills via Frankfort on the way to Devonport
More green rolling hills and then a refreshment break at Devonport β¦ Terri and Maureen
Next stop Penguin (my choice) and the beautiful beach at Penguin
We all enjoyed visiting Penguin β¦ Terri, Nola, me, Jeff, and Maureen
Penguin and Iβm feeling quite at home
Near the beach there was a βTardisβ , and Iβm in my elementWe are at our destination for the day and the main mission of our trip βWynyardβ β¦ we are standing on the corner of βQuiggin & Moore St,β the site of the Hospital were our fathers were born β¦ ironically now on the site there is an Aged Care Nursing Home, and we are happy to have found our true spiritual connection with our actual beginnings
On our way back home we stopped at Deloraine and go over the Meander River
The sun is setting and itβs time to head back to Launceston for a well earned sleep
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

OH, what fun! Day two, woot woo! π
Love the penguin Tardis! π
The photo of your time spent at the corner of βQuiggin & Moore St. and it’s meaning got me all teary-eyed! How lovely! So special:-) β€οΈ
As you know, I always click on the song/vid you share and listen as I read and look at your post. Then I play the vid again and watch it. This particular Mr. Cohen song is perfect for this post and it added to my teary-eyed-ness. π Pass the tissues, please. π
(((HUGS))) and love, from me, to you and all of your family that you are with!
