Southern Sojourn.




Mick and Yvonne hosted their usual "Fish Day" party on Good Friday and a good time was had by all. Brian and I dragged ourselves out of bed early the next morning, picked up Yvonne and, made our way down to battle the hordes in Margaret River. Being very worn out and bleary eyed my plan was to sleep all of the 3 hour trip, but, the animated conversation that ensued soon woke me up. When we arrived we lunched in the main street, did the lotto, bought some provisions and then proceeded to do the usual M.R. stuff....talk to the neighbours, do some cleaning and sorting etc, visit rellies, visit friends, stock up on favourite "Racy Red" from Graylyn Estate Winery, drink, eat, reminisce, drink, eat, sleep, talk, sit on the the front verandah...as you do..go out for tea, more visiting, talk...talk... go out to Jock and Lynda's, catch up with Eeyore, pick some figs in PJ's, take some photo's...hopefully to use for some work, visit more rellies etc,etc. Then on Monday, on the way home, we stopped in at Bunbury to see Mum, my sister Barbara, and my brother-in-law Ray. We had lunch and a nice visit then we were pleasantly surprised to find that the traffic was'nt bumper to bumper all the way home....Perfect!
