<br />
The spring blossom is well and truly out in Melbourne, but in colder Ballarat it's still mostly buds.<br />
I'm walking down Sturt Street every work morning now, and yesterday I saw this lovely cherry tree dropping pink blossom over the footpath.<br />

Canadian Creek May 2017</div>
<br />
I've been pottering around Canadian Creek, just near Poverty Point trying to match up the mining settlements on the nineteenth century survey maps with what is here now. This spot was full of people and their mining gear and huts 150 years ago.<br />
<br />

<br />
The land has been mined and lived on and covered with rubbish and cleaned up and now replanted with local trees and shrubs. They are growing well, as you can see when I stand Mr Pip against the last one on the right of this photo.<br />

<br />
<br />
This is the best custard tart in Ballarat, possibly in Victoria. Better than the Portuguese style in Journal cafe, better than Chinese Dan tarts. Rich, soft & flaky pastry. Sweet cool custard inside.<br />
Plating Works makes these. They sell at the Lakeside Markets and in Wilsons - occasionally.<br />
<br />

This evening we got to the lake a little later than usual. </div>

It feels as if the summer is finally cooling down a little, gentler and autumnal.</div>

<br />
I have started to use a mobile phone. For the first time. With trepidation. But I need to be able to ring people and services - and to be rung in turn - if I make a long trip.<br />
Today I finally worked out how to download pictures from the mobile phone. Early this month Yin and I went to Kambei restaurant and celebrated his birthday with a (modest) banquet.<br />

<br />
I've had a long break of two years during which I've been sick and got better, worked on and off on a thesis and stopped taking photos.<br />
<br />
I've tried Facebook but it isn't as much a pleasure as blogging.<br />
<br />
There's a rosella outside my window and blood plums ripening on the plum tree. I feel like celebrating living in Ballarat again.<br />
<br />
Here's town and city in the eighteen seventies with the Yarrowee River in between.<br />

Seven in the morning. It's minus 4 centigrade. Yesterday morning it was minus 6. Really cold and beautiful. Even the dog hesitated before going out. His nose, my nose, both numb.<br />

I've just come back from a week in TFNQ (an acronym on the signs on state government buildings in Cairns). It stands for Tropical Far North Queensland. <br />
It's the first time I have been up to Cairns.<br />
I was visiting my eldest son who is very much settled in up here. I mostly pottered around, admiring the veggie patch with the new orchard of tropical fruit trees and going for easy walks in some of the tourist spots. Mossman Gorge was one which has retained a powerful beauty despite the walking tracks, viewing platforms signs and numerous visitors.<br />
I didn't take photos as I left my camera behind in Ballarat, and I only really regret that because I like putting up photos on this blog.<br />
<br />
We went up to the nearby Atherton Tablelands and Jake did kindly act as my camera man for our visit to the Chinese Temple. Miraculously it has survived the dispersal of the Chinese community living around the temple in Atherton for WWII (Anglo) soldier settlers. It was saved by local Chinese families and it is now cared for by the National Trust.<br />
It is a beautiful, but simple construction, well-designed to survive the tropical climate.<br />

I haven't seen this building in a coffee table book of vernacular Australian buildings, or of corrugated Aussie beauties. I'm not an expert or regular student of architecture, so I am ready to be corrected here, but I think this is another example of how only Anglo-Australian heritage is considered to be the 'real Australian ' heritage. A loss for us all.<br />
I'm reluctantly adding a label Chinese Australian heritage to this post. Reluctantly because it is in some ways selecting out what is not Anglo-Australian from our culture and our community.<br />

The winter solstice is always a time I slow down and reflect. It's been an exhausting year so far, but with some wonderful days. I am made happy every time I remember the day in March when my Jesse married his Fiona on the balcony of the Melbourne Town Hall<br />

I'm going to keep paying attention to day-to-day things. </div>

Every morning Pip has a walk and goes outside until the evening. He's just getting used to this new kennel. The old plastic greenhouse disintegrated last winter. </div>

<br />
Autumn is just about over. It's refreshingly cold, rain has fallen every night for a week, and some days as well. I always revive a bit once summer really ends.<br />
I've been feeling miserable, tired and incompetent the last few months. It's not just been the summer heat. I've let the research project take over all my time, got too tired and have been diagnosed with, among other things, an allergy to sunlight - not really surprising for a woman who is not fond of summer! So I have done my yearly winter review and decided to slow the research project down a bit, and pick up the blog again.<br />
I began this blog to keep in touch with family in Melbourne and Cairns. I soon discovered it was a very satisfying way to keep in touch with me. So as well as sewing again, pottering about the house, writing stories and visiting friends, I am going to put up at least one post a week. I don't know why I stopped doing such things!<br />
Tomorrow and Saturday I'm catching up with good friends over the best coffee in Ballarat. On Sunday Yin and I will drive to Kyneton and visit friends in their new house and garden.<br />

There's been a little bit of a competitive feeling around our place. Since we first moved to Ballarat Yin has been in our local paper, The Courier, a few times, being a chef, Slow Food Ballarat founder and contributor to lots of community events. This is the first time I've had my picture in the paper so I'm celebrating. I feel like I'm really a local, part of the newspaper record of Ballarat that's been going since the days when Ballarat was a gold mining giant. Now my descendants can find me in the newspaper archives.<br />
