Well, it’s nearly time for us to get back on the road again, and we’re really looking forward to it. While it’s been lovely being back in Melbourne seeing our family and friends, it’s not our home any more – we miss our van and our lifestyle.
We’re leaving Melbourne on Monday morning, will spend a couple of days in Adelaide, then head off to Whyalla for the CMCA rally which will be fun. After the rally? Who knows 
I went to the Stitches and Craft show last week, and it was fun wandering around by myself checking out the stands. The venue this year was the showgrounds which was great – usually this show is at Caulfield racecourse which is quite a way from the house, and would have meant catching the peak hour traffic – both coming and going. Not that I was driving – I got David to drop me off and pick me up, and nice guy that he is, there wasn’t even any grumbling or anything, even though I could have taken Ben’s car myself .
Numbers seemed to be down this year compared to previous years though, but it was nice having space to move without getting hit in the face by someone who swings round forgetting they’ve got a back pack on! And there was plenty of room for mums with strollers which was great. Much easier getting in to the vendor stands to check out their products. I didn’t get any photos because I initially thought there wasn’t that much worth photographing, as in, there wasn’t any exhibitions or displays, but really I should have taken some of the stands at least. Next time.
We had some lovely news the other day – as you probably know, the reason we’re in Melbourne right now is because our son and his girlfriend are in Paris and we are dog/house sitting. Well Ben, romantic that he is, proposed to Kat in Paris and they are now engaged (she said yes). He’s his father’s son!
Once we’re back on the road, I’ll update a bit more frequently
