Day 97 Back at Saltbush
Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 04:14AM You may have noticed there was no blog yesterday, that was because we did a marathon trip back to Saltbush. Almost 1000km with the van in tow. We stayed at Peterborough Thursday night and woke to Zero degrees. I was rolling up the hoses & my hands froze up, I seriously had numb fingers!
We got home at about 9pm & were like little kids getting to an adventure playground! Even though it was dark we had to look around the garden & house to see the changes since we left 4 months ago.
The house and garden looked awesome, we have to say a big thanks to Granny & Bert & Sandy & David, they have really looked after the place while we were away, it was great to come home to our place but even better that it looked great & was so clean.
Well the trip is over, I will get back to you all during the week with total kilometres, fuel consumption & Hot Chocolate consumption. And my list of Things I will and won’t miss!!
Thanks to all of you who read the blog during the trip, you were all part of it with us, we now look forward to getting back to a different way of living working & being James & Ness we will catch up with those of you we can as soon as possible.
Oh and the blog will continue, maybe not every day, but I have enjoyed writing it so much that I am going to continue blogging away, feel free to opt out if you don’t want to listen to what we are up to..... but just so you know I have already thought of a name for it.
News From The Chairman!.... think about it..... Clever huh!
Love from James & Ness

Yahoo, home again!!!! Glad you both had a fab trip and got back safe and sound. Look forward to the Saltbush chapters xxxxxxx
Thanks for your daily words, they really helped with my adjustment to Vietnam, it allowed me a consistent connection back to Oz, not to mention much entertainment!
Love the new name!!
Hope to see you both in July when I'm back for Juan's birthday!
Now that you're back home, what part of Australia would you tell someone they 'must' see for themselves? Your trip has inspired us to plan a three to four week trip next year- would love it to be four months but think I'd get too homesick- and we want to know where should we go James and Ness?
Enjoy being back at home. xx
