reluctant ramblings

I sit here most days to work. I know, lucky bugger. If you look closely, you can see that this is the view from my lap, across the laptop, out to the southern view from my lounge-room. Working from a home office is a gift some days. Every morning there are kangaroos and two highland cattle (Hamish and Haggis) eating their breakfast 5 metres from the glass.

(Deep breath)

I’m opening the blog up to the big bad world. I think I might be secure enough for that!

Actually, I’ve decided that “online” is a significant part of my context (see below). I can’t keep my corner of it private forever. It’s supposed to be more fun when its open anyway! And, as Cheryl said to me, I’m not writing for an audience, I’m writing for me!

Hospitality

Approximately 40% of Healesville’s working population is employed in the wine and hospitality industries. The current total population is 10,000.

We started here (for a very short time) nearly 5 years ago. Our return this year has surprised a few, none more than us.

Innocent Bystander

Also called Giant Steps. We go here 3 times as often as we go to church. It’s a more spiritual home than church. Great people, a place I’m comfortable to take anyone, and a space that encourages interesting and open conversation. Its definitely part of my context.

Oh, and fantastic coffee.
