So this morning I decided to get some physical stuff sorted.  The washing went on the line first.  Earlier in the week Elsie and I had taken most of Alice’s shoes out of the cupboard to try and find her flip flops.  I took all the shoes out to find those that didn’t fit her… Continue reading Byron Bay – 28th February

This was one of those days where I had nothing planned but had a nice day!  I helped Alice with Elsie’s bed, changing sheets and getting them in the wash and on the line. Jon was working so after their nap we went to a park I hadn’t been too.  Elsie loves the swings and… Continue reading Byron Bay – 27th February

A very lazy morning catching up on Eastenders which Alice had kindly saved for me to watch.  I was just getting to the last one when Jon came home for lunch!  I showered and went out to get ice cream and bread with Alice.  After the ice cream I went back out to get stamps,… Continue reading Byron Bay – 26th February

So my last morning here and I had to be up and out by 9:30 in order to check out and be on time for my airport pick up.  I managed to squash my stash and clothes into my suitcase and handbag.  I wondered if it was over weight still.  I had bought extra luggage… Continue reading Melbourne to Byron Bay – 25th February

I was tired and it has been a long week.  One day left and just two yarn shops left.  Both shops were what I called fiddly to get to with trams, trains and walks.  I left my room late as I had had a lazy morning packing some of my stuff and doing some blogging.… Continue reading Melbourne – 24th February – My Last Day Here

Well, they said it was going to be hot today but it was absolutely sweltering – when I walked outside it was like walking into a hairdryer on full blast!  The only other time I have ever felt wind that hot was in Durban.  I think it reached 34 degrees. So, with a bottle of… Continue reading Melbourne – 22nd February – Boroondara (Kew) Cemetery

Well, this morning I had to be up and out by 7:20!  A bit early for me so ran out of time and didn’t get to dry my hair!  Heyho!  When we finally boarded our tour bus I had a choice of the whole of the back row so I could knit as we drove.… Continue reading Melbourne – 22nd February – Great Ocean Road

Last night I shared an email conversation with one of my living relatives!  I am really excited to be able to share family information and find out how the Australian branch is doing and how big it is getting.  This relative lives in Sydney and has very kindly extended an invitation to lunch if we… Continue reading Melbourne – 21st February

So after last night I had a lie-in til about 9.  It was really nice not to get up and rush for anything.  I had a leisurely breakfast and shower and planned my day.  I decided to try and visit the easiest wool shops first so I took myself off to the nearest train station… Continue reading Melbourne – 20th February

Hooray, I managed to blow dry my hair this morning. Small things and all that!  The first thing that happened was that I have located a living relative but they are out of town! It is so exciting to find some one after all that research! The tour started by being picked up at 11:20… Continue reading Melbourne – 19th February
