Love cusco
Sounds amazing so far! The colours are amazing in Peru. And the baby alpacas are gorgeous. Enjoy!! I hope your luggage turns up soon . Otherwise it’s an excuse to stock up on woollens

Wow
How beautiful- This sounds like an awesome day Deborah!. Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures and words! Xx

Wonderful times
So lovely to read your first blog entry from Japan as we enjoy a long warm weekend in Canberra at the music festival. Hope your adventures continue to be fun and we look forward to the next instalment.

Sounds superb
I trust you are getting much inspiration for future interior decorating plans. And why stop at interior decorating - a dining for 130 PLUS a chamber orchestra seems like a great idea!

Did you see any lilacs?
Aaaah, Grantchester.........brought back memories of a beautiful day there some years ago.....we also took tea with scones, jam and cream. The Church clock did not stand at ten to three - that is not the right time for tea you know!!!!! So lovely to be enjoying your trip from the warmth of our home in the coldness of Melbourne. The photo of Raph relaxing in the deckchair says it all.......OUr 20th anniversary service yesterday was a cracker.....house almost full, very loud and enthusiastic singers with all our musicians up there - Sam Osborn on drums after we had a ten minute "drumming for peace" welcome. Libby had pulled out a lot of the old melodies for the songs so it was a trip down musical memory lane as well. On the walls we had a lot of memorabilia. Lovely readings with special prayers for Israel, John Levi gave the most magnificent Dvar Torah wherein he wove the parsha, kedem's milestone and Israel using as the thread the ability for people and a people to change.......will get the text for the next Megillah. You were missed!!!!!! Kiddush of course was delicious - very fancy and fully catered after a huge debate. Now we are back to reality and planning Paula's Bat Mitzvah which is next week and then High Holyday planning in full swing. Hoping to get to the football today with footy buddy Jim Cyngler but at present it is cold and I am feeling a little flu-ey so I may be sensible and stay home,.......then again I may not.........Continue enjoying your travels. It will be a little different without your beautiful boy but it is so wonderful that he is looking so well and thriving in his environment. Much love and I look forward to the next instalment.

Lovely words
How nice to read your lovely words after the ugliness of the news and emails filled with despair at a world filled with hate and bigotry. To retreat into Enid Blyton territory for a while must be bliss. Thanks for sharing and please send love to Millie Molly Mandie in the second thatched roof cottage on the left! xxxxxxxxx

In a pram????
You both look so relaxed. Tempted to make jokes about mere carelessness, but just keep on enjoying!

Thanks for blogging
So glad you are going to share your journey! Give my love to Raph when he arrives. Xx
