But not as busy as others have been: since I last posted, we have had a change in government in Australia: a resounding rejection of John Howard's Liberals, with Johnny himself losing his "safe" seat of Bennelong in Sydney, only the second time a Prime Minister has found himself, not only out of a job, but out of Parliament, after an election. Labor's Kevin Rudd, despite his lame US-style "Kevin07" slogan, has a lot more credibility, as well as a wife who retained her maiden name... Future will tell if he can earn continued support!
On the home front, very important stuff has been happening: Bryn my welsh foal is growing fast, and is no longer a colt... ouch! His Mum Bessie is in foal again, hopefully to give Bryn a little sister! Holly has had 2 visits to stallion Dae Wynne (Bryn's sire), fingers crossed.
Last Sunday, Michelle went to a Welsh Stud sale, to "help with the catering". Monday morning as I drove in, I noticed a new inhabitant in the front paddock: Francesca, who is a lovely chestnut part-welsh mare with a flaxen mane, very fetching, we all love her already!
The weather hasnt really been very "beachy", so I have finished 2 more pages for my scrapbook.
Still on 2003, I have done a double spread, featuring Sharon's last day in Narrogin before she, the children and Jewel left for Canberra in Nov 03.
The opposite page records the visit of my brother Francois and his wife Babette, all the way from France and before their move to Greece.
All in time, as tomorrow I fly to Canberra to help Sharon redecorate HER new Lodge!
