Rye, Victoria, Australia
Sorry for the delay in posting.
we did reach Australia and spent New Year in Tom and Elaine's fine home and company. They've found a place to live nestled between the wild Tasman Sea and an inland coastal water with perfect golden sand beach. And all the way round the world from Edinburgh, they've still managing to live at the foot of 'Arthur's Seat'.
It was the height of tourist and cherry season, with a superabundance of both. And very hot! I slept on the porch where kookaburra sang in the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bushes he... laugh... we had to, kookaburra is such a funny looking bird.
On our last morning, Tom and Elaine took us to an artists community just outside Melbourne which was a special place, peaceful and timeless. It seemed as if it had been there for centuries, home to a secret order of craftsmen, impossible to believe it was built around 30 years ago from reclaimed materials. And a little magic happened while we were there. One of my shoes disappeared and was later discovered when we opened up the car. I knew I'd had them both on but I convinced myself it must have got left behind. However, the camera doesn't lie... see both shoes are on!
And now we've heard that Elaine has had the baby, born March 21st 4 p.m.
