A couple of days away


We took off on Wednesday afternoon and headed off to Taree where we found a motel for $65 for the night - it was remarkably nice and Judy found the decor did not prevent a good night's sleep (who does do the decoration in the average motel and why do they think stripes and checks should go together?)



Our well tuned body clocks had us on the road so early we were in Bellingen (so Judy said....) too early to buy pies (Is that possible???) 

We had a couple of good days with Jon, Danielle and the boys. 

It seems they have thrown off any influence of nature (or nurture for that matter) an are wildly competitive and completely engrossed in any pursuit which involves balls or racquets.

Saturday morning we headed off for Tamworth to see Marg & Neil and Matt & Jane.

Matt & Jane have done an amazing job on their home, Built fom a kit in 12 months it is great and I especially loved the complete independence from the grid, a few tiny batteries and a solar cell array is all it take apparently!

It was so good to get back home and get back to work....

  1. Looks like they've also turned into zombies! Are they really competitive and into sport now? Sounds disturbing.

  2. Yes. Who'd have thought! It doesn't seem too competetive but they love playing sporty games.
