Happy Mother's Day for Sunday!

Hope you all had a lovely time celebrating Mother's Day

We have a family tradition now (built up over several years) of going to the soccer to watch the Grandddaughter(s) play - and we take food and champers along!

Why not drink while you endure the cold and watch the game?

Yes, autumn has finally been subdued a little and it is getting colder. 

In fact, it snowed here in Hobart, Tasmania, last week - just a light dusting on the mountain. This amazing photo was taken of the old brewery (Cascades) in the foothills. Actually, the stone work is just a facade as the original was burned down in 1967 during disastrous bush fires. You can still see the remnants of the fire damage in the dead trees behind the buildings on the mostly left side of the mountain. They look like thin white sticks. Fifty years ago and still standing, dead.

Another interesting fact. 

My grandfather worked at the Brewery in the 1920 - he was Chief Maltster. 

Always said stout was made from the sweepings off the brewery floor.......
