The Places We've Been

Sale (29/12/11 - 31/12/11)

Next stop... Andrea, Marc, Jemma, Zoe and Miah's farm at Kilmany, near Sale.  Andrea and Marc very kindly offered for us to stay with them, despite only meeting us a couple of times, with the last time being 9 years ago!

Donna finally got to see Sale, after hearing about it from Jen for such a long time (Jen grew up there).  Beautiful town.

The kids had an absolute ball - not only did they make 3 fabulous new friends in Jemma, Zoe and Miah, but they learnt to ride a two wheel motorbike (bit nerve racking for Mum and Dad), learnt to use a pogo stick, fed a calf, paddled a kayak and Ben skied on the learner water ski on Lake Glenmaggie and didn't fall off!  Ben constantly reminds us how he can ride a motorbike all by himself.  Marc, we hold you responsible for Ben's requests for his OWN motorbike!

Simon and Marc enjoyed a beer (or 10!), Andrea and Donna enjoyed a few G&T's and we all had a great time.

Thank you guys for opening your home to us and your great hospitality - we really appreciate it and had a wonderful time.  We look forward to returning the favour in Albany one day soon.

Before we left Sale for our next destination, we spent a couple of hours with Danielle, Leigh, Fynn and Imogen.  Thank you for a great catch up and Danielle for all the absolutely delicious morning tea treats!!  The kids had a ball playing together and blowing bubbles!
