What a beautiful tribute to Jamie Kirkpatrick. I know I would have loved him as a person.

Ironically It's time for me to find another place to live, and Hobart is high on my list. I've even enrolled at UTAS. Why? because I've never visited or know anyone there? My pull is the environment and the climate. I'm nearly 57 and I want to finally settle somewhere and nature is my happy place. I notice the small things in life and don't need glitz or glamour.

I'd love to chat to you about Tassie.

Another option is Ballarat as my flatmate is moving there. Plus I found out recently I have a sister (I'm adopted) who lives in Melbourne.

I'm beginning my illustration career, as my dream has been to illustrate my stories.

I adore your illustrations and your wonderful substack.

Hi Rosalie and thank you for this lovely comment! Amazing that you are considering moving to Hobart. I missed it every day for a long time after I left. It is a wonderful place to live! And good luck with your illustration career - it sounds very exciting! I have no idea what the art school is like at UTAS these days but it used to be fabulous. They had a most incredible print making room! My housemate studied there and I used to visit :)
