I am sitting in my workroom on Bribie Island SE Qld. It is 10 degrees and I am cold - just not used to having such a chill in the air. I have just finished reading "A Plunge of Women". I can't imagine how cold it must be in Tassie but when you walked through ankle-deep water I froze. And then you went for a swim! I became an ice-block just thinking of it and glad to be enjoying my 10 degree coldness.

I saw Ground Parrots in Strahan in 1996. It was the only time I have ever seen them and I am always on the alert. Love your posts! Keep them coming. Marj Webber

Your winter swim stirs the envy juices. I have yet to begin this year - and it will be with wetsuit, boots and gloves. You're much braver than me.

I gave my gorgeous (86 years - young) mother-in-law Marj Webber a gift subscription of The Sit Spot last year as she is a ‘birdo’ (twitcher) & very in tune with nature just like Maggie. Marj grew up on a dairy farm & I know she relates to Maggie’s farm stories & seasonal reflections. I was just so thrilled to read Marj’s response today. The Sit Spot is such a marvellous gift ! Cheers, Margo Webber
