Tasmania You Devil

I hope you will allow me just me a minute to look around and find out where we are today? Ah yes, we're at the wonderful hilltop home of Eric and Carmine Bogle in Adelaide. Eric picked us up bright and early this morning from the Airport after what I'm delighted to say, apart from getting up at 4am, was an uneventfully, on time, flight from Tasmania. No extra baggage fees, no problems, but don't hold your breath. Our host and event organiser Roger Joseph picked us up from the airport at 9.30 in the evening after our five and a half hour delay in Melbourne. Thank you for being so patient and understanding Roger. Our apologies to the local radio station, Vin had a radio interview booked which went out the window, but we smiled our way through it and arrived weary and ready for bed. Although everyone has told me how wonderful Tasmania and Hobart are, we didn't actually get much chance to explore the island or city, apart from our brief drive into town and the scenic route which we took to the gig. Our venue was the Bookfield Winery near Lindisfarne, do they know something we don't know about our drinking habits? By the way, lots of towns have English names over here. The old barn used to be used for storing fruit and drying herbs and well as wine making but is now an excellent music and dining venue. One of it's other attractions, wine apart, was the old Tutor model village and German model railway layout. I have posted these pictures specially for our friend Peter in Melbourne. Peter don't you think it's about time you got started on your own layout, all those wonderful trains of yours gathering dust, here's something to give you a few ideas! I'm delighted to report a full house at Brookfield and a top quality concert from Vin, notably lots fo fans turning up who remembered him from his appearance at the Longford Festival in 1979, one couple had travelled 400 miles just to see the concert. Many thanks to Marie Rose who was at the concert for her E Mail and very kind remarks, Vin is delighted that you enjoyed the concert so much. It was as you might say a short but sweet visit, thanks everyone, who knows what tomorrow brings, see you again sometime.
