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

Hi from Melbourne!  I made it. 😅 I had to wake up early today so I could make sure I was ready for the bus to collect me.  Elsie helped me with my packing and I was outside at 10:15.  A bus arrived at 10:30 across the road so I made a dash for it… Continue reading Byron Bay to Melbourne – 18th February

Just before 2pm I made my way… Continue reading Byron Bay – 17th February

Another quiet day.  After catching up with my blog and doing various chores – more washing and trying to get packed for Melbourne I had lunch.  Elsie was home as she had had a bad night with her cough and she was asleep until I had just finished my lunch.  I was then on Auntie… Continue reading Byron Bay – 16th February

An even quieter day today.  I was on Auntie duty from 7:30am as Alice and Jon had to go up to the Gold Coast for Doctors visits – all okay! By the time I got back to the house I was feeling a bit under the weather so I used that as an excuse to… Continue reading Byron Bay – 15th February

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! This morning I was rudely awoken by a FaceTime from my son and it wasn’t to wish me a happy Valentine’s Day as it was still 13th for him!  He woke me from a dream about people in the UK that has stayed with me all day.  I have been having… Continue reading Byron Bay – 14th February

A quiet morning – well after a FaceTime with Liz and Lynn and a quick view of Castell, Joe and Amelia!  Followed by lunch of cheese and cucumber sandwiches.  Then it was nap time for Alice and Elsie so I went shopping for bread, wheetabix and Lamingtons.  I also has a brilliant idea of getting… Continue reading Byron Bay – 13th February
