Home again, home again, jiggety-jig January 1, 2006
We stumbled through the door of our place a whole fifteen minutes ago, home from Bean’s little piece of paradise. It was an epic journey back requiring a toilet & drink stop for dogs, lunch at Macca’s in Pakenham, searching for fuel in Narre Warren and swapping drivers in Richmond. The rain bucketed down on us from Pakenham to home (where it’s still going). The temperature drop is appreciated, but we could have done without the spray on the road.
A grand time was had at Bean’s by all and its grandness is demonstrated by dogs flaked on the back verandah, a small boy in a stupor in front of telly, a larger boy passed out on our bed and yours truly lost for words on the blog. Photos will be forthcoming when I brave the rain to unpack the car.
The missing farkers were missed and you are all instructed that you must attend next time - if only to experience the serenity!
Thank you Bean for the hospitality. You are a magnificent hostess and we can’t wait to come back.
This place would only be half of what it is without friends to share it with. Thanks for coming up. And thanks for my housewarming present. And thanks for helping out with the thistles. We’ll make a farm boy out of Mark yet….
Sorry, you have probably gathered that the above entry was me, bean.
I think making me into a useful farm boy might be a long task in itself.
