Moving On


I was wondering if I would ever write this post. I have finally, after all these months, sold my house. In just over three weeks I’ll be packing up all the dolls and moving to a new home.

The revamped area.

That’s the other bit of news. We found a house we like and we bought it. How about that?

Our new house is at a place appropriately called Sisters Beach. It is on the north-west coast of Tasmania. The nearest large towns are Wynyard and the port city of Burnie. The house has four bedrooms and while it will be a squeeze we hope to get all our dolls, teddies and toys set up in their own area. We’ll also have to find homes for our other collections so we’ll be pretty busy even though Naomi is not bringing all her stuff at once.

Of course, this means that blogging will be taking a back seat. I probably won’t have the internet on at the new house right away. I’m going to try and prepare a few posts in advance and Naomi will probably do some while I’m out of contact but if we miss posting please bear with us.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  7. When I moved from my longtime abode, it was a time of upheaval and renewal. How time has flown by and I couldn’t be happier in my new home! How about a photo story series involving sisters moving in together? I nominate Becky and her sibling.

    • No Laurel. It is up on the northwest coast of Tasmania. Three and a half hours drive from Naomi’s house and about five from mine. About as far away from here as it is possible to be and still be in Tasmania.
