Gail You realise dont you? that I dont have to go to these places now....so well done are your descriptive writings. Sun is big and beautiful for third day in a row, yippee I am off to buy a dehumidifier this morning, old one karked it. I have to go into Atherton anyway as I am looking after the Laundromat for the owners who are in Toowoomba I suppose all will be quiet there now, with the sun out! Liam, the French waitress Amadine Jimmy and I took tea at Pub last night, and I have to say, it was very nice pub food Not before time though, it has seen many cooks and food has always been very poor in last 6 years or so. Death of old friend yesterday, yet another one here in the village. Patti off to Korea today for 21 days,,,she is doing soap workshops. Then she and Maurice go to UK and Europe for themselves on June 7th never know, you might meet up! I know she has an apartment in Paris organised and wee cottage about 9kms from Verve Cliquot and 35kms from Epernay. They are driving themlseves around, but have preferred to stay put for longer in some places and then drive. I laughed over the shopping trip, all the way to switzerland!! be good, travel safely, Love Gail

liz Hey there; sounds asif you two are having a wonderful trip. Mrs Asher's French lessons coing in handy are they? The rain wasn't much, although things have greened up slightly. They are talking frosts 4 Wednesday. Great!

Gail Hello, I was just sending you emails to your personal addresses, did not realise I could reply here! Ah, the intricacies of technology, I will never be able to master it unlike my children Still raining here in Far North Qsld, we just might see a bit of sun peep through so I can start on lawns that have not seen a mower for just over 2 weeks! Everyone well here, Patti off to Korea on 30th to do 5 Soap lectures Business is very slow in Yungaburra, real downturn, just like that! Keep those notes coming, they are just great...thankyou

Liz Hi there, (or should I say ca-va?) I'm jealous already; although I must say we are still having a typical Indian Summer here. Keep those posts coming. They're awesome.
