Home Sweet Home

We have established a tent city here on the outskirts of Sydney.  Between scrounging off the hosts (does that make us parasites) and what we brought with us we're getting positively comfortable.



We will be picking and packing fruit for the next two months.  Getting excited about Martin (Meredith's brother) and Julie and the ferrets coming back from Argentina and starting to look forward and think about moving to Tamworth next year.

Apologies

A couple of apologies:

Postcards
We sent a bunch of about 30 postcards from a little place called Dululu, wesat of Gladstone.  So far of all the people we've caught up with, that we know of, none of the postcards sent from there have arrived.  This was two months ago.
So if you might have expected a postcard but haven't received one, we don't know where it is either.

Posts
Things are going to be a bit out of order from now on.  For a while there through the NT and SA we had very little coverage and very little charge and add car trouble etc and we just didn't get any posting done.  Over the next couple of weeks or couple of months we hope to catch up a bit.

Other Posts
A quick apology to the council for the bin Claire knocked over and the post she nearly rode into in Renmark.

The Chocolate Fairy

We stopped at Nerang to visit Aunty Sue and had a great catch up.  Aunty Sue gave us morning tea and then gave us three cakes to take with us.

Aunty Sue has a stack of family photos under the glass on the dining table and it was an excellent way to catch up with what everyone in the family is up to.

Grumps, Gramps and Grampians

Had a great time at the Grampians with Max and Shirley.  Even got civilised, having showers and everything.  I must say the sticky date pudding that Shirley cooked was a nice aspect of being civilised.

Lovely Lunch

We've finally gotten somwehere where we have both charge and coverage so while Meredith's across the road shopping I'm going to catch up on posting some photos.  Then I'll read war and peace, wash the caravan with a toothbrush and grow a beard, then if Meredith isn't back I'll just have to go look for her.  "Just a couple of postcards."

We've been on the road for over two weeks now and it both feels likje yesterday we left and it feels like we've been gone ages.

Our first day we had lunch in Griffith and had a great time saying goodbye to Kevin and Arlene.  We'll miss them, although when we settle down I hope Kev and I will be able to Skype as much as always.
