Oh! Well hello there, dear blog followers. Glad to see you've made it this far in the "Carlyn and Natalie Do Australia" adventure.Give yourselves a giant pat on the pack; you deserve it.
It is indeed our last morning on the Tassie "Beach Haven" farm with the beloved--and never dull--Markellos family. We've been in OZ for almost four weeks now. My, how the time has flown by!
So am I ready to move on to the next adventure? I believe so, although three weeks here has proved a perfect amount of time to really settle in and adjust to this simple, animal-filled environment. Am I sad to leave? Strangely, yes. I will miss feeding the chickens in the morning. More yet, I'll miss the feeling of excitement that runs through my body when I find out how many eggs have been laid! Ahhh, the simple pleasures in life. I'll miss Juno the giant dog (but really Juno the tamed, domestic bear...Nat and I are convinced) and his smaller, more feminine partner in crime Leila. And I'll miss the people too, of course. Bronwyn with her eclectic collecting hobby, Steve with his fishing and never-ending rambling political monologues, Nan and Pop with their card playing, and Ellanda and Dave with their wonderful Irish accents (seriously, though, every time they speak I mimic whatever they say in my head; their "r's" especially...pure phonetic magic I tell you).
As Natalie has already so wonderfully laid out for you, we'll be on our way to Hobart in approximately 3 hours. (NOTE: by "Hobart" I mean the city, not the dish-washing machine).
So hang in there...keep on reading! More posts to come.
