This photo was taken at Janet and Thomas' Wedding last Saturday 25 JulyRoger and I have been reminded several times by our lovely daughter Jocelyn that we have not posted on this blog for many a long month. Our apologies, especially if you keep checking and finding the same old, same old!! Not good at all. But I take a lot more interest in my other blog "Gaynors World" as it is more lighthearted, etc!! I can just rave on there, but don't feel I can do that here!!
It is a shame I don't keep this up to date as we have so many wonderful things to share with you all, especially about what we are doing here in this area of the world in which we live.
We have been here nearly 3 1/2 years and for the first time we are heading back to Australia for 10 weeks this coming Friday. We will get the ICE train from Basel to Frankfurt and then Malaysian Airlines to Kuala Lumpur, then on to Melbourne. It is all very exciting and it is taking its toll on me, especially in the emotional department. At least I was able to get a good nights sleep last night. Just wish I could sleep in a little bit, but I can't at the moment.
Whilst in Australia we want to be able to spend good quality time with our family - Tim and Amy, Jocelyn, Glenda and Tom. So, we will arrive in Melbourne, stay for 2 weeks then head up to Sydney for 2 weeks to catch up with family and friends there. Back to Melbourne for 1 week and then over to Adelaide for 2 weeks. Back to Melbourne and then to Perth on 2 October for 10 days. We will fly out from Perth back here to Schopfheim. Don't like to write about it like this as it feels like then the time has gone already!! And my goodness, it is going to go fast enough anyway!
So these past months we've continued to catch up with 'our boys' from the Church. When we come back they would have all gone to various studies and we probably won't see them for a long time.
Roger started up a 'Men Modelling' group at Centrepoint and this has been great to get guys together. They have started to build a model of the sailing ship 'The Albatross'. This group will go into recession until Roger gets back.
I had a lovely afternoon of Aussie baking with 2 Swiss friends and we all had so much fun. Katja and Etta want me to do Christmas baking now!! Could be interesting.
Katja and Etta ready to take home the spoils!!
Raisin Chews, Anzac Biscuits (Oatmeal biscuits) and Monte Carlo's
Last Thursday I catered for a Farewell afternoon tea and this was also lots of fun. I received good feedback and a good recommendation from the lady who I did the catering for. Must do more of it when we come back middle of October.
So, can't promise you will get anything else for the next little while. If only I could inspire Roger to do some posting. He has some great thoughts often which he shares with me, but I'd love him to be sharing it with you as well.
