Last Friday (27th Feb) Marg and I said farewell to Leura House and the Blue Mountains and drove down to Bowral in the Southern Highlands for an overnighter at the Briars Motel. Frank and Liz travelled up from their home in Bateman's Bay to meet us there and show us around as it's where they lived and farmed (Angora Goats) for a number of years.

red alert again...wallet attack...I'll stay out here!
