Monday 28th November.
It’s been a week, what’s been happening: We moved sites last Monday and it is just as windy here, and the road noise isn’t much quieter.
It is now looking like we will keep the TV, computer options that we now have, as it would be a costly exercise to upgrade and there would […]

Sunday 20th November.
We have had a weekend of visiting and are now ready for a little settling down after we move sites tomorrow. We went to Frankston yesterday to visit Rick and family and had a good catch up chat. Today was a visit to Barry and Ida’s. It was good to see them again […]

We have changed our plans a little by going on to Young instead of Canowindra, pronounced Can-now-ndra, not Can-o-win-dra as we have been told. Young is about 250Km from Wellington where Canowindra was only about 120, so now we can go on to Albury from here and that will be the only […]
