Glad you got home safe and well Sally - and sorry we missed you this morning - but you know we don't surface early!!!! Hugs to lovely Ollie and Jamala - the wood actually stayed on the woodpile today!!!!!
Happy you enjoyed yourself up here - and got a taste of what grey nomadding is all about - enjoyed meeting you and spending time - and stories - good luck in deciding what you do now - it will all work out for the best, in the long run. Plenty of time, don't rush it!

What a lovely evening last night. The beautiful Kiwi folk cooked a ripper camp dinner (Brandt) and THE BEST pavlova (Lorraine). Kept me going all day today. (it probably helped that I got the last left over serving of pav)
Not only that, but Brandt and John went out collecting firewood, loads of it. Damned, those Kiwi's are good. And then, while we are all relaxing after our 2 chores of the day (cos you gotta take it easy on the road) Brandt splits it all with his wood splitter. Very kind.
Yep, left Greens at 8.45, home at 12.15, unpacked caravan,loaded the wheel barrow several times, pushed it up the drive to the back of the house, mowed lawns etc.Didn't stop tip 4.30 All fuelled by that sensational Kiwi feast. Yum. I've been telling all my friends of that most sensational pavlova. Cos I can't cook them!!!!! So it was a treat
Lovely to be home, not sure I want to leave really.
I thank you all for being so welcoming to my dogs. Not the smallest pooches....
The lovely Alice, such a picture in that gorgeous Cup Day hat, my winner for the day!! And Hubby Keith with some great stories too. You are both inspirational. You really are the best, infact!
Solo Steve and Yeo Eleven for being so accepting of a blond that has blond moments, how is that????? What happens when I'm totally grey? And the beautiful Sharon. Sharon, you're just a beautiful legend of sooooooo much fun.. Then there's Patti and her BAD BIG dog for stealing THAT bone from tiny Jamala, that she stole from Phoebe..... damned dogs :) Just kidding, Milly is gorgeous. and soooooo much fun when she gets the "zoooomies". And of course, it goes without saying that Patti is just gorgeous, but you all know that
Don and Sue? Luverly bubblerly for making Ollies day. He's getting old but he sooo loved the attention. Thank you
Chris and Peter and Phoebe.
Too many folk to mention really, but mostly....
Ah, Feral Errol and his oh so exciting new Weber Baby Q.
And, most improtantly.......
Jules and Bileeeeee for suggesting I go up in the first place. Thank you sooooo much. It wouldn't have happened without you Jules.
And while I was driving home today, well, Billeeeeeee,
Hi Sal,
Was great to meet you. Hope you make your choice soon and as you know which ever one you make will be the right one for you. I am sure when you are ready to travel again either part or full time we could get together and have some more fun and cause some trouble somewhere. Take care and keep in touch.
