Home again!

[sister_raphael]

Home from History Alive and the happiest, purriest kitty is wrapped around my leg. My original plan was to stay over Sunday night and pack most things down and the rest in the morning, but my lift was very keen to do it all on Sunday night, so that had to happen. It was a huge job getting it all down and packed before it got properly dark and dewy. The photo is my home away from home for the weekend along with my little kitchen awning, which I brought along for the first time.

I had such grand plans to start to unpack but maybe a hot shower and bed, but my knee is a bit sore, so I might put that off until tomorrow.

A huge shout out to Patrick Earl for transport and history chat on the way up and back where I learned loads of things about wars that I didn't know, Susanne Dancer for her live-in kitty wrangling, Alicia Hurst for the wonderful help, Julie and Joel for looking after us all and Dorothy Walsh for inviting me to dinner with the Queensland Colonial Association! I only popped over to visit for a short while, but they had too much food as a member couldn't come and tempted me with venison stew and much mulled wine- both of which were wonderfully delicious.

A huge thanks to everyone who made it to our photo booth for fun photos.
