Trains Hi. A very nice, easy weekend trip. Great. I thought the train was possibly grain until I looked at the individual pictures. I love trains. My dad worked on the railway for 44 years and I did some summers between school years. Wonderful to see the solar panels on the pub. Great blog, keep up the interesting writing.
Bon Scott Legend Wow you got to see Bon Scott! That must have been a cracking gig! AC/DC cracking band and Scott was a legendary front man who lost his life way too young.
Back to work... Well it had to happen I guess. Glad to hear that you are getting better and are officially "fit for work". That's got to be a good thing :)
Work ... that 4-letter word ...... Hey Andy. Great to hear that you are now officially able to "eeeze" back into work again. Remember though - the word is "EASE", so don't be in too big a hurry to try and break any records. We are all just starting to get used to reading your regular blogs once again so, don't you go doing anything to muck that up, young man! :) Easy does it. As always, love to you both. Jxx
Breaking Bread Hi Andy,
Have just read you blog and cheeky Ted said that he hoped that you enjoyed the experience as it will probably be the only time that you will be able to attract birds. :) J xxx
My Thanks Hi John and Sylvia, so thank you for your comments, hey you can't let having a stroke get in the way of having some fun.
Plenty of rest and taking it easy, oh and the food was awesome.
My regards
Andy
Cocktails and Camp ovens - recipes Hi. Take it easy Andy, or I will have to come over there and slap you upside the head. Not too hard mind you!!
We rarely, if ever, have curry and from your writings I know you enjoy it.
Is it possible to get your recipe? And some of the others from your latest 'camp out'? They all sound delicious, even if not camping.
Do take care. Our snow is slowly disappearing. Sun is out and warm weather is on its way.
Bad news for trees! The wet, heavy snow played h... with them. Branches breaking, falling onto cars. Not nice at all.
Do take care and keep up the blogs.
Thanks Buddy Hi Guys, Promise I will take it easy, I will be going back to work on Monday for 2 hours a day until I get in to the swing of things, Caroline has been amazing.
Chicken Curry
Dice and onion, cut up some red and Green Chillies, they don't have to be hot
Cut up Brest chicken on t0 cubes and Brown with onions and Chillies, Add a ready mixed curry paste, plenty of Garlic and a tin of diced tomatoes, more Garlic.
Pre Boil Potatoes and cut and lob in to curry when boiled, Simmer for 45 minutes on a very low heat.
Once cooked at Cashews but do not cook them they need to be added just before serving.
You palette will dictate how hot you like your curry, we like ours Madras/Vindaloo hot so only use Titanium spoons.
Let us know how you go.
Our love to you both.
Andy
Well ducked! Good work Caroline! Well ducked Andy! Really glad to hear you are on the mend. Can't wait to see you in the flesh ... although didn't expect to see that much flesh in blog photos lol!! :-) Hope you're continuing to feel much better. Love and stuff from all of us xxx
Ninja Training Hi Guys, my Ninja training came in to play, it was like second nature, the only thing is I am suing up my 9 lives, I think I have got 3 or 4 left.
Tell us more about seeing us in the flesh, are you coming to Australia if so when,
All the details please.
Andy
hello Andy,
just got back from hols. shocked to read what happened but very relieved to hear that you are ok. you were very lucky to have Caroline there to calmly deal with the situation. i hope you have both managed to rest easy since and look forward to hearing about your adventures when yoy have fully recovered. take it easy.
Steve
Thanks Hi Steve, there is nothing like being scared in to something and I have to say it was terrifying.
Thanks for your well wishes.
Hope all is going well with you .
My best regards
Andy
Wishing you Well Andy, so glad you are on the road to recovery. Do take care and let nurse Caroline take care of you (but don't take advantage!!).
Please keep us informed, if you don't mind. Even though we have never met, I feel I know you (at least a bit).
Dodging a Bullet Andy and Caroline, what a dreadful experience for you both! But, Andy, your positive attitude should go a long way to your full recovery. Caroline, you seem to have handled this crisis so well! My best wishes to you for a full and fast recovery. Please keep us all updated on your progress. Anne
Your near miss Hi Andy and Caroline, so sorry to hear of Andy's recent problems. It seems he was very lucky to come out of so well, quite obviously due to some rapid response from Caroline! Time to take stock and heed the warning young man, life is not that keen to hand out "get out of jail" cards. On your last visit I did think the waistline was showing signs of the good life which I am sure I mentioned in my usual unsubtle way!! Maybe time for some regular walking.
Any way, so pleased to hear it is going well. Don't push your luck.
Love from us both
Ed & Ange
Fortune favours the brave A saying that seems to apply to you Andy. May your strength continue to return to full throttle. How lucky are you you were in Mandurah and not on the open road...and your wife knew how to take charge and get help for you quickly. Yep...fortune favours the brave...and when it is a strong couple...even more so.
Stay well! What a time....glad to hear that you are on the road to recovery. I hope I am reading more about your travel tales again soon and you are both being well supported.
Back in the November of 2008, we embarked on an adventure that would take us out of everything that we were so familiar with, a comfortable life in the UK, friends, family and the English countryside. Some call it brave, others thought that we would be back, but above all, most people helped us embrace the challenge that lay ahead of us.
Weary of corporate life, we emigrated to Australia, with the notion of buying a 4 wheel drive and camper trailer and a 12 month trip to explore our adopted country, Not an easy thing to do as we had to start from scratch, simple things like knife, fork, s... full info
