Recent blogs. They make great reading of a wonderful trip/ stroke holiday.
Agree with Faye Gronow's remark and will look out for discs of the girl - have to look back for her name.
Certainly a surprise to find the Humber and your Ute alongside; even more of a coincidence if they had actually been our vehichles.
love Mum. xoxox

Ambient heat isn't much of a problem here in the UK, however I suppose down under it is a bit too much and if it can be delayed then well and good.
Enjoy your time in Busselton, I follow you on Google Earth.

thanks again for update on your 'blog' In my past life i spent some time in Albany persuing a love interest! You do travel miles sometimes to do just that, i was living in perth at the time. The whaling station was fully operational then.The odour/smell that came from there was sometimes ... how do you say ...' on the nose'!!! even visited the prison!!! Actually when I really think about it I have some great memories.!!!
wow! what celebration have read this 'blog' a few times now, reading and looking at the photos that tell such a great story. Just reliving those days with you, Judy and Denise. as judy said 'will remember for a very long time' We still laugh when we think of some of the funny things that happened. Even having a bi-sexual person in our midst OMG. I think we were forgiven for the stress layed upon you Mike once the surprise was over and the reaction of the birthday girl.....was all worth it hey!
many happy memories, love you both Faye and neil.
