Finally the time has come.



Monday we set off for our week long holiday to the Otway Ranges. Tenby harbour

has been hemmed, the centre stitch marked, and all safely packed, along with the

knitting bag, loaded ipod, camera and bag of books.



It has been some time since we have had a proper holiday, not rushing from one

family crisis to the next, this break has been planned with military precision.

The cats have been booked into the cattery, (please don't mention this out loud

in their presence), the three corgis have their bags packed.  The youngest, of

course, keeps unpacking his.



I always take far too much "stuff", but I am hoping for a mostly wet week, so I

can relax and stitch, knit or read.  With a few dry breaks to take the dogs to

the beach.



Until next week



cheerio



Bernie



P.S.  It took a lot of willpower to keep the Tenby kit until this break, it has

been burning a hole in the "to-do" pile for weeks

Oh Bernie, I'm green with envy!!  Just done a Google search on the Otways and

you are in for a fabulous vacation.  But you already knew that!!  Enjoy every

moment of it and don't give a thought to me sweltering away 'up here' in

Canada!!



Give us a full report when you get back,

Susan W.
