Spring is in the air



By this time next week it will be SPRING again. Last year spring was absolutely the best time of year to be in Hobart. You get days of glorious sunshine. There colour and vibrancy everywhere you look. This morning we awoke to a sensational sunrise and a glorious sunny day. We decided we would head off down to the famous Salamanca Market for an outdoor breakfast and stroll through the gardens.



If you park at the church and walk down to the market you can cut through the gardens to get to the market.



Whilst walking through the gardens we were puzzled to hear a large group of people doing strange things and laughing continuously. Whenever the laughter stated to die down, someone would lead off again with something to do for the others to copy. It seemed you could do anything at all and result in getting some side splitting laughter from the rest of the group. Looked a little odd, but what's wrong with a little more fun and laughter in the world. After all Proverbs says that it is good medicine. Maybe these people were really on to something!



We picked a table along the market strip and had breakfast at the Parthenon. It was you basic egg and bacon breakfast. The coffee was good and we soon put our meal away and headed off for a stroll through the market.



Whilst walking through the market we met up with a bunch of OCF students from our church who were singing together. They sing Christian songs and take the opportunity to speak with anyone who will listen to them about their relationship they have with Jesus. The more I get to know our OCF students, the more I like them. Well done guys.

    Spring coming for you... Summer ending for me :-( So sad :-(. But once again, beautiful photographs, especially that first one! Salamanca is a world of its own - I love hanging out there on a Sunday outside Bakehouse.
