The title over the hills and far away was inspired by the place i now call home. Having lived in three Australian states I now find myself well and truly rooted in a small community in North-East Tasmania. Here the hills rise and fall, providing wonderful scenery and gentle climate. The rich soil grows just about anything and the rainfall is about right. This area is magical for gardeners and crafts people alike.
However there are drawbacks living in paradise. The remote location means that any art and craft supplies have to be ordered from distant shores and postage costs and delivery times can be infuriating. If one is fortunate, goods can arrive within 10 days of shipping, others come more slowly, taking the scenic route. Despite these minor inconveniences, it is a wonderful place to live out ones years, surrounded by friends and loved ones.
