SUNDAY 1 MARCH     HEALESVILLE

A hot day again, for the start of autumn. In my original travel plans, did not envisage that we would STILL  be around Melbourne as the season changed, eight weeks after setting off! I  rather feel that we really have yet to get started “properly” on our travels. But – has been necessary. Although the medical appointments that brought us back here are now done, we will stay a few more days in order to attend a farewell function from John’s school. Because of his illness last year, he did not get back to work before the end of the school year, and now the staff and community want to say goodbye properly. He is pleased that they want to do this.

The time here makes for some fairly mundane diary entries, with very few photos to liven them up. But we will soon be properly on our way, and things will become more interesting.

Had to drive to the shops to get some supplies for tea and rolls for lunch.

Drove around to Badger Creek Weir Park and went for a very pleasant walk through the bush. It was just enough , in the heat.

John’s younger daughter came to tea, again. She was not in a happy mood, so the evening was not a comfortable one. She left fairly early. I made tomato and mushroom risotto for tea.
