TODAY....

A NEW BLOODY SUPER HIGHWAY...!!!!

My husband, Michael Ramsden (artist and voluptuary) and I returned from our daily walk to find a NEW ROAD had been laid in our absence.

We'd only been gone 90 minutes!!!!

Aren't road workers" meant to be slack-abouts???
Doesn't "road-making" entail sitting around millions of dollars of heavy machinery drinking tea and eating sandwiches??

Isn't the term "road worker" (snigger, snigger) a synonym for "shovel-prop" and "bludger"??

God Damn it, 

Isn't "Road-Worker" 

one of the World's 

GREAT OXYMORONS??

Not so!

THESE GUYS ROCKED!!!

Clearly things are happening

HERE

in Tambaroora!!

Let's review the facts

A New Solar System is created in Tambaroora.

Following close on its heels
we have
The creation of a  New Superhighway.

Are the two events linked???

Is this an opportunity for a conspiracy theory? 

Does it have the seeds of a vicious rumour?

You bet it does!

"I WORE SUEDE SHOES!!!!"

Shocking confessions rock small 
community

A long-time Hill End and resident admits... 

"I walked to the edge of decency and...

JUMPED!

In a scandalous series of revelations a Hill End "aficionado" confessed, not just to purchasing suede shoes but to wearing them. The aforementioned shoes wore bought, and worn, in the olden days when when a sophisticated series of codes were used to advertise and excite darker human hungers.

"I am NOT gay!" 

Yeah. Right!

So what's with the long time "companion"

Is this just the tip of the iceberg???
We know who you are!!!

What next??

RED TIES...??

GREEN CARNATIONS...?

Watch this space...

Hang on...
OMG!!
My husband, Michael Ramsden, wears suede-shoes!!!

new 

SOLAR SYSTEM!!!!

OMG! We're all going to die!!!!!

What new forms of alien life will be seen hanging around Tambaroora's hot-spot "The Chimney"???

In a world first, Tambaroora hosted the creation of a new Solar System this week. 

It was poetic

It looks banal, it looks innocuous but

let's face it...

IT'S CROOKED

What lies behind?

Is it...

the Andromeda Galaxy?

HYDROMETER GALAXY..

A WENCH IN THE TRENCH 

BY ALLAN JAMES DENNINGTON  

The Master's Apprentice, she toils,  
in the soil,
to lay in the poly. 


MIke thinks it's a folly,
but, by golly, 
one needs this tube
to moisten the loam, 
in which is grown, 
life-giving veggies
to ingest for the best.


To Pea or not to Pea?
That is the question!
Whether it is nobler to grow or, perchance, 
is just another question! 


The Master's Apprentice,
sounds more like a 70's rock band,
or a black, leather-clad lady!


Remember this sonnet
and wear a sun-bonnet, 
to keep at bay, 
old Sol's deadly rays, 
while you toil 
in the soil. 


And god-bless little Reggie.
And hope she's not too crook, 
from digging up, 
the smelly old chook!

A TRAGIC DAY FOR THE SCONE!

13 NOVEMBER 2011

NEWS IS...

THE "QUEEN OF THE SCONE"
BETTY JEFFREE 
HAS HUNG UP HER BAKING TRAYS... 

FOR GOOD!!!!

NO MORE DEVONSHIRE TEAS AT ROSE COTTAGE!!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE BEADED CROCHETED MILK-JUG COVERS?

READ ON...

Terrible news here from Tambaroora. Betty Jeffree, that stalwart of the scone, has dusted the flour from her fingers, and, shock, horror, wiped the blackboards clean.

Crumbs!!

UNBELIEVABLE, THOUGH IT MAY SEEM...

THE SCONE IS GONE

No more Devonshire Teas at Rose Cottage. 

No more sitting in Betty's beautiful garden with her gorgeous follies. 

No more exquisitely pretty table settings,

AND THE WORST OF THE WORST...

NO BETTY...

This is sad day for anyone wanting to experience (or re-experience) Betty's intergalactically famous "Devonshire Tea". This will be a blow to Nannas and gay men everywhere! 

AN ERA HAS ENDED

I have no photographs to post. If anyone has any they'd like to include, including of paintings, please submit them. I will credit everyone and post a copyright credit as well. "The Scone is Gone" I pinched from Glen.

All the very best to Betty.

Thanks Betty. You're the Bees' knees!!!!

 Now...

WHO WILL PICK UP THE TEA-CUP????

RUMOURS ABOUND!!

CAN IT BE TRUE??? 

GORGEOUS POULTRY FANCIER & PLUMBER TURNED BAKER     

Sue Thomson and Steve Rattray

TO PICK UP THE MANTLE!!!

Devonshire Teas will be now be served at that other wonderful bastion of yummy-pretty

HOSIES

Oh my god! Maybe, if Betty changes her mind, there'll be a Scone War!!!!

...stay tuned...

...In the pipeline...

BIG AL RESTORES  RUNNING WATER IN TAMABAROORA!

RIP PETER ROEBUCK.
Karin and Michael Ramsden will miss you!!!
A god-awful day for cricket!

VISITING LINDA JACKSON

Too much happening in Tambaroora. The stress is killing us! Linda Jackson is having an exhibition at Number 47 (63791338) in Rylestone. The gallery is open from Thursday to Monday...

Linda's invite.

We have a new car! Dot. Bought with a bequest by, and named in memory of Michael's mum, Dorothy Ramsden.

Dot the Car

Let's split this crazy scene...

Dot takes us to Rylestone.

The show is a blast of colour, texture and spirit.  The gallery looks great and the cafe jumps.

Linda has a friend, named Na Lam, who runs a tiny yum-cha joint in Rylestone. She, the shop AND the food are just gorgeous! Plus, she sells a selection of luscious Chinse clothes and finery. We've rung and pre-ordered Peking Duck (02 6379 1984).

Na Lam has made a beautiful spot for us by the window.

Karin Mainwaring and Linda Jackson in Na Lam's yum-cha joint.

We all have new spectacles. Our eyes are drunk with it all. That and the two bottles of local wine...

Michael Ramsden, grappling with new glasses, is stunned, by the blast of colour sitting opposite!

The lunch is so delicious that we eat it all before we take any photos. A shame as the food looked as beautiful as it tasted. The dumplings were sheer poetry. They steamed and quivered in a naughty, but very nice, kind of way.

Linda tells us about a new admirer who has recently appeared on the scene...

Linda's resident King Parrot.

We met Na Lam's husband, an artist named Reg. By coincidence our dog is named Reg too. When we told Reg the Dog to sit, Reg the artist very nearly complied! Well trained, Reg.

This is Reg the dog. Not Na Lam's husband, Reg the Artist. 

Linda's show is a feast as is Na-lam's food. Linda tells us that she has also has a major retrospective opening at the National Gallery of Victoria next year. It opens on Australia Day and runs until September.

Thanks for the photos Linda.
