Just weeks ago I posted this promise to myself: … I’m heading north before June.

Well June has come and gone, and I’m still stuck in Tasmania, and as Robbie Burns said:

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Go often askew,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

The image above showed the early-morning scene as I peered out of my window this morning.

It had a perverse bonus later in the day when I captured the wintry calm of the Derwent River as it flowed through New Norfolk.
