8th April - 11th April
Madness. So much madness. Particularly with Ben the ancient Jack Russel, who hunts possums and loves to sing along to 'happy birthday'...
But absolutely lovely, too. We spent a few days with Rose at her beautiful place in the hills just outside Norsewood, which was settled by a bunch of Scandinavians who, to put it bluntly, had been conned into coming in the first place. Funny now, not so much then. Anyway, weird, kinda quaint little town...
So yeah - we didn't do very much while there, as there wasn't much that Rose had for us to do, really. Her dad, who's quite ill, lives with her, and I think she was happy to have us around in the house so that she could go outside and potter every now and then during the day. Hilariously, she also had the best internet we'd seen thus far, despite being the most remote, and least techie (which is saying a lot), person we'd met!
We met some fun Checks (three girls running the neighbouring dairy farm, and the s/o of the girl in charge), charged up a hill (well, Si did - I charged up most of it), and talked a lot.
Our stay was also very brief, as Rose passed us on to a friend of hers, Tim, to spend some time with him...
