The last few months have been somewhat exhausting and we have had little time to remove ourselves from the daily grind and enjoy the world we live in. We are all surviving the changes that have occurred in our lives and Tony and I have taken a break, packed the van and set off. Day 1 of our trip saw us driving up to Emily's work to say farewell to her for a short time and then heading through the Upper Hunter for our first night away - Sandy Hollow. Then to Nyngan. Some of you who know Nyngan may ask "why?" - it is actually very pleasant here by the river and we are enjoying the quiet and the end of winter in Western NSW. The wattle is magnificent this year and the roads are lined with beautiful yellow flowers. There are lots of calves and lambs in the paddocks and the fruit trees are beginning to blosssom beautifully.
Tonight I need to make sure all the fresh fruit and vegetables have been frozen or eaten before we pass the fruit fly zone check tomorrow.
I have a hideous cold and cough - a few more days and I will be cured!
Now it is Friday - I tried 4 times to get that uploaded last night. Perhaps Nyngan is not a centre of blogging activity. Today we have driven to Broken Hill. So far we have seen only one live kangaroo, about 20 emus and a million feral goats. I have never seen so many before along the highway. Photos have been few and far between so far due to the weather.
It is drizzling and has been on and off since we left home. It doesn't matter!
