  1. It didn’t take long to find the rest of the crew that would be filming today’s events, with a group of suitably equipped people, led by Guy, soon making their way through the crowd and finding us at the spot where he suggested we wait. Apart from Guy, there was a long-haired camera-toting man, a well-presented and smartly-dressed young woman, who was carrying a microphone, along with a second young man, who was carrying several aluminium boxes slung from his shoulder with black webbing stra
  2. @Summerabbacat so why did I sing it as That DOTH Impress Me Much ??? LOL
  3. @Paladin thank you!
  4. Compared to my last Australia Day spent in Thompsonville, even I have to admit that this one outdid that day easily. For starters the crowd was much larger, as well as there being many more activities, food stalls and entertainers than I had ever seen before. Even the local Aboriginal community and their Invasion Day protest, with their distinctive red, black and yellow flags, and hand painted placards, only seemed to add to the spectacle that this day had become. ‘So, what do you think?’ L

    @Paladin everything is heading in the right direction. I'm enjoying this! 😀
  6. Sadly our local outlet has closed down. You could always try e-bay though! 😂😂😂
  7. @Ivor Slipper my old man used to say that mum "wouldn't say SHIT for a sixpence", now, with all these US movies and tv shows the f-bombs are like water off a ducks back. Oh, she doesn't use them, she just doesn't batt and eyelid at them any more! LOL
  8. @VBlew you say the nicest things! Thank you so much!
  9. When I awoke in the morning the sun was shining brightly on the khaki-coloured walls of the tent, bathing our canvas bedroom in an almost-eerie golden-green glow. I looked sideways and my eyes soon fell on the still sleeping form of Aaron, his mouth slightly open and his eyelids fluttering ever so slightly, no doubt a result of whatever adventure his mind was taking him on in dreamland. He was naked . . . we both were . . . having slept on top of the air mattress, totally uncovered. Glancin
  10. @Summerabbacat my lips are sealed. No amount of tickling will make me reveal the plot! You hear me? 🤣🤣🤣
  11. It was while I was inside the guesthouse with Aaron a short time later that we heard a second vehicle arrive. We knew that the floodgates would soon open, with people set to come from everywhere, so we both headed outside to greet whomever it was who had pulled up this time. ‘Well, I’ll be damned!’ I said as soon as I stepped out into the late afternoon sunshine. ‘And it’s so nice to see you again too, Tony,’ my Uncle Tom said. It was Luke’s father, whose wife, my Aunt Helen, was my mo
  12. Thank you @Summerabbacat for your very kind words. ❤️ I can already see these two little boys as sixteen-year-olds in another 12 years or so. It could be fun, bringing them back here to visit their 'uncles' around then. Jakey will be a handful, but that quiet one . . . they'll have to keep an eye on him for sure! As for Samantha, yes, I'm sure that she was well described in both Song For Guy and Thompsonville. She was blonde and tanned, with a carefree 'hippy' spirit, I think you will find . . .
  13. If the first visitors were going to be arriving this afternoon, Aaron and I decided we would need to really get moving once we arrived back at the house, and getting our own little space set up before someone else got in first. The spot I had suggested we pitch our tent was right near a bushy, young eucalyptus tree, about ten or twelve feet high, which I thought would give us a little shade at various times of the day. Aaron had mown all around it, so the spot seemed almost perfect to me.
  14. Feeling the love! ❤️
  15. @Lee Wilson sorry to disappoint, but, no! 😋
  16. When I finally pulled out of the airport car park I pointed the truck back towards the centre of town, following the main drag along the edge of the bay. The waters were shining, reflecting the late morning sun, and with a slight swell rolling in gentle waves onto the stone breakwalls that had been built along the bay to protect the shoreline. The hire business that Luke had asked me to visit, to collect the marquee and fold out tables and chairs for the party, was located in the industrial
  17. @Summerabbacat and there were those who were doubting Harry's honesty and integrity, eh? lol I did tell everyone he was one of the good guys, did I not? And the stories were always thought of as being a series . . . it's just that I haven't really labelled them with a title until these past few years. And as for GA, what can I say . . . they've been good to me! ❤️ MP
