We're Back and travelling!
In 2019 we visited relatives in Portugal, UK and Ireland. Julie sang Carmina Burana with the 'Noteworthies' at the Royal Albert Hall. We did lots of walking, writing, sketching, reading and relaxing.
This year we start our adventures with four days in Hanoi, Vietnam.Then time to catch up with friends and family in Taddinton, Derbyshire, Seville, Spain and Gibraltar! Phew!
A 3 week holiday in Morocco before heading back to Saigon and Sydney.
Adventures await ...

Black sheep turns out OK!
In February we decided to visit Orange and booked into the Black Sheep Inn.... couldn't make it as Roger had to go to UK so booked in again in March and April and May.... but had to keep postponing until finally in June - the coldest time of year we finally got there AND it was beautiful. Chilly (-5) but beautiful.
Renovation is obviously the owners' forte as they took a decrepit shearing shed and created a living space full of ambiance and style while still maintaining the history of the building. Given the cavernous size of the place and the freezing temperatures thanks to the huge stove it was still warm and cosy. We loved reading and sketching in front of the huge fire, listening to music. Enough rooms so that I could practice singing "The Armed Man" ready for the concert in London next month!
Love how they have kept so many original features.... wool press, shearing runs, wool grading table. .........Bliss!
