I miss my handful of friends in Beechboro even though many of them have already taken the opportunity to visit me in my new home. I spent a couple of nights in a farm stay B & B. It came with a most delicious breakfast and acreage of cows, sheep, chooks and amazing pigs! Then there are the stories...Marija said her husband found some eggs and brought them home placing them under the brooding hens and out popped two beautiful peacocks!
While at the B & B I visited friends morning, noon and night. I spent a relaxing hour picking two bowls of plump purple mulberries from low hanging trees for Marija to make her famous mulberry jam. I was introduced to chooks and pigs and the family dogs. The younger dog we were warned enjoyed munching on visitor's shoes. I kept mine safely on the inside!
It was a fabulous getaway followed a few days later with a family engagement party, finishing only a few days later with Mel's 39th birthday. Mel was born on Melbourne Cup Day all those years ago. Melbourne has a public holiday to celebrate their world famous horse race. It just so happens this year Mel celebrated her birthday on Cup Day. Her friends celebrated with her, it was a fabulous day.
The getaways and celebrations have finally finished it's time to get back to everyday living.
