I have spent a week over in Perth babysitting Rosie and Creed while Bec and Steve went to Byron Bay for a wedding. I have enjoyed my visit and spending quality time with the grandkids. The kids are easy to look after, Fletcher the 12 month old pup, while I do think he is gorgeous, is a little bit more work.
Mal stayed at home looking after Salem and doing his chore list !!!!!! I think he enjoyed the peace and quiet. He has spent time getting everything ready for our trip away in the caravan travelling around Tasmania. We leave next Wednesday 5th and spend nearly 2 months in the van.We are both looking forward to the trip.





Thank you Ros.
Don’t think I will get there this year. However, let us know when you re travelling next year and we would love to stay with you in the van for a couple of weeks or alternatively perhaps we could just stay at your place for a couple of months while you are away As an aside our preference is for Moet & Chandon 1972 & Henske Reds & Whites Hill of Grace so we can be enjoying wines you no doubt have as a matter of course, if there is not adequate stock I’m sure you will get them in. I can work with frozen Crayfish but as we work regularly with the lady & husband from Tassie supplying fresh crays & abalonie to us we are sure you will be able to supply adequate quantities before you leave (on your account,of course). As we won’t have a car available can you please ensure the Triumph is suitably serviced & fuelled. Looking forward to the opportunity at a time to suit Jan & I and hope that whilst you are travelling we the cousins & friends plus family enjoy staying at your Ponderosa.
Jan & I can assure you that if photos are supplied we will Try to get your home somewhere near what it looked like when you left.
Lots of love. Enjoy your tour around Tassie & time in Europe. Thanks for keeping us informed.
PS. Do u have an electric blanket & flannelet sheets? If not can u organise before next year. I’m sure your itinary is on Google calendar so we can advise all concerned as to flight & ferry specials. I don’t think it will cost you too much!! Love
hi Dave have you been to our place before as all you asked for is already in stock, but i hear john is looking forward to us all coming down to his new place at Mollymook to party and stay for a couple of weeks at his hospitality but we must wear our jimmy hats.
as John and Rhonda receive this post they will be forewarned of our pending arrival, so they should be at the front door welcoming us all in.
but you guy’s are welcome down here anytime.
regards mal
