It took Mike approx 6 to 7 hours to get to Kimba today. Thanks to the Kimba Motel Caravan Park for putting Mike up for the night, it is very much appreciated. One of the good things you encounter when travelling along are the people you meet during your journey. Today Mike met a lovely family on the road somewhere who had pulled over for a break. Keith & Roslyn & their 3 children invited Mike to join them for breakfast. They fed him, made him a cup of tea & had a nice chat, that is what you call good ol' fashion hospitality. Not only did they feed him & offer him a bit of company, but Keith is also a chiropractor & did a bit of work on his shoulders which I am sure are in dire need of a bit of attention! Well, only a few hours now till Lachlan & I head off to join Mike. Thanks to Fay Henton for her prayers & making one of her super dooper fruit cakes for Mike. You are a treasure. He finished her last one a few days ago & is looking forward to me arriving with the next one. Two people who deserve a giant size thank you are my parents Jan & Lee. They have always done more than their fair share of parenting, grandparenting, pet minding, house sitting & whatever else crops up. It makes going away a lit tle easier knowing they are there. Thanks guys, I love you. Another big thank you goes to my good friend Judi Boyce. I never would have got that car packed without you today! Let's just hope that missing blow up bed is underneath all the stuff in the back of the car!!! Thanks also to my cousin Steve for all your help (especially 4 helping out with our Xmas morning drama!)
Happy New Year everyone.
