Happy Easter @utopia

@Adge I can't take any credit for describing the forum as a family - that credit goes to @Faith-and-Hope  but it is a nice uplifting thought - especially when you are feeling alone - that you have a 'virtual' family that you can reach out to and know that with such a large 'family' someone will be there for you. So @Adge - let me officially welcome you to The Family 

[Shaz51]

Yes @Adge - let me officially welcome you to The Family too

@Zoe7 @Shaz51 @oceangirl @Adge
Had a beautiful long soak in the bath. Warmed up my cold bones.
Just finished reading 'Abandoned Women'. Was a brilliantly researched and written book on those Scottish women transported to Tasmania. Really enjoyed reading about Margaret Alexander (who became Margaret Boothman) & lived on Hope Island down in the Huon Valley - my favorite area of Tasmania. You should look her up @Zoe7. Fascinating.
I'm sure you will be asleep by now and hope that tomorrow is a good day.
Sending hugs ♥♥♥

Morning @utopia - hope your cold bones were warmed up enough last night to get some sleep 

I did look up Margaret Alexander briefly - will have a better look later when I have more 'headspace' to really read and take more in.

The Huon Valley is such a beautiful part of our State - we are extrememly lucky to be blessed with some amazingly beautiful natural environments down here - so far untouched - let's hopw they stay that way!!!

Any plans for today?

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope and @Former-Member.

Hope you both find some light in your days today

@Zoe7 @Shaz51 Nice one - family, thanks.

Family (in whatever form) is one of my favourite visions or aspirations.

To be part of a new family - rather than looking back to the past one that wasn't.

@Zoe7 You've got me thinking of Tasmania now...

I haven't been there in about 30 years

Yes it's beautiful.
