Peace

No, it is not a quilt block, it is what Alice and family are experiencing now that we have left :) No more Wii going nonstop in the lounge room; no more Hannah buzzing away in the sewing room (I miss her!); no more yodeling to scare Brian out of his wits.... We did however leave the sweet stray kitty to miaow outside their back door :)

There is peace here on our little farm too - other than Jules the sheep dog barking at someone who is using the road (how dare they!). I can hear Snowy the rooster tellling everyone to wake up (fat chance of waking the kids up yet!). I can look over the paddocks into the distance seeing a white covering of frost - yes, it is still cold in Victoria!

The flight back home was fairly uneventful. I managed to read a whole Jeffrey Archer. Kept me occupied at least. The bad part was the trip down at Melbourne - turbulence and a bumping landing. I felt sick for the next hour and a half - which was nice for Cameron since I didn't talk much until we caught sight of Ballarat whereupon I didn't stop talking till we got home :)

I think I had the best holiday ever at Alice's these past two weeks :) She spoiled us all! No housework, food provided, and most of all, sewing machine provided to do lots of fun stuff!!!! Thank you Alice, we all had a wonderful time!

And now it is back to the real world :) I need to unpack, say hello to all my animals, dust, etc, etc, etc! It is always lovely to be home though. East, west, home's best :)
