Love it love it. Your trip is so fantastic especially the festivals you are at all over. Those Poets Breakfasts are so entertaining & funny. We loved them at Tamworth too. Is your cousin still singing Gloria. I remember meeting him in Tamworth a number of years ago. Keep on enjoying yourselves. We are getting ready for big game on Saturday or I am actually being a Pies supporter. A bit nervous but hoping.
