Saying goodbye to family

With one week to go before we head off to Europe, we spent last week tripping up to Brisbane and back to say goodbye to the family. Plenty of learning about dinosaurs and the intricacies of getting train tracks and names of trains just right with grandsons.
Whilst the highway to Brisbane is a continuing disgrace, by now we know where some good coffee spots are to be found and so it was a pleasant enough drive with overnight stops at Glenning Valley and Grafton to break the journey.
Now we are looking forward to learning just a little about life in Scandinavia during our month there and then to further develop our francophile tendencies. Whilst you could think that it is getting a bit late in the day to consider having a more permanent base in France to spend at least a good part of each year, this potential project is still on the books. We hope to report any progress in our thinking over September but in the meantime we are increasingly focussed on first exploring Scandinavia with our friends George and Yvonne.
