I am not sure if we have spoken about this in any
previous posts, but whilst we were at Mt Elizabeth Station in the Kimberley, we
had the pleasure of meeting a family from Adelaide, Kim, Trudi & their
daughter Ziah, a little cracker that Zander took to like a Maverick poo does to
his undies.....(we are glad that phase is just about over) They love kids and
just adored the boys, plus it was a release for them (& us) for the kids to
amuse themselves.
They were headed the same way and we met them at
different camps, and also spent a night in Broome at Zander's restaurant after
seeing the magic sunset with some wines, cheese and bikkies.
They insisted we stay with them when we got to Adelaide
for my birthday. Nat and Trudi kept in touch & today we marched the final
430klms south and arrived. Zander said he couldn't wait to stay in a real house
& play Ziah's iPad games...
Candlelit home made delicious pies with a funky tomato
salsa, a local Cab Sav, chocolate pudding and ice cream for dessert, and some
great conversation was what awaited us. How good is that!
The boys played with Ziah, had a bath, watched telly
& basically had a blast. It was almost 10.30pm when we realized they were still
up.....that usually means tears at some stage tomorrow.....but that's okay, we
all need a late night now and again.
The trailer is parked up in the driveway, we have taken
over the games room, the washing machine will get a workout tomorrow and I
might just leave a little red dust reminder for them on the driveway after
washing the car.....(it's a Kimberley thing, you will understand when you get
there) At no stage have we, or will we feel like there is any imposition, they
are the highest calibre of people.
As an example, they have booked their favourite
restaurant for all of us tomorrow night while their god daughter will watch the
kids, on Sunday they insisted on watching the boys all day while we tour the
Barossa & Mclaren Vale wineries with Sue & Dale who are arriving
tomorrow, and on Monday they want to push us out the door again so Nat & I
can enjoy a meal on my birthday together!
This looks like it will be a great few days in Adelaide courtesy of meeting like minded
people in one of the most remote places on earth.
Brilliant.....
