FROM YASS

So here we are - we arrived in the beautiful Yass Valley and those words, dear reader, were written in late April and it is now May !!
So.. we have now prepared for our party/family reunion : -
Steadily we worked with Chris and John, firstly helping with a smooching up of the surrounds of the house, touch up of the gardens, and some more development of patio and outside living areas.
John did work on our van - a van is the type of item which because of its very purpose as a mobile home - and of course this home has been very mobile - requires periodic maintenance.
An outside ensuite was partway under construction in one of the sheds on the farmlet and this kept John N very busy.
An email was despatched to oue guests outlining some of the parameters of the occasion and the necessity to wear a special hat - not just any hat.
Chris and I began preparing food - large pots of soup - cakes - deserts - the makings for hamburgers, fillings for pies, sweet and sour sauces, spare bedrooms were made up, the study utilised.
On the Wednesday the rain poured down and we crossed fingers it would over and done with and soldiered on, David and Helen arrived the beginning of our guests.
