Headed to the Hunter Valley via the Bucketts way with a stop in Dungog to catch up with a Lenny (an old friend of Robs) had a great coffee and caught up with Camilla (Lenny's daughter) and her beautiful daughter Rose - Thanks for the great coffee Lenny great to see you again and your warm home...

On to Spider's (Anne's brother Stephen) at Singleton and had a fun night with Spider met his friend Joanna and shared lots of laughs - thanks for the bed and the yummy breaky Spider and you better repair that problem!

On to Branxton to visit Anne's Dad "Ted". Anne recorded an interview with Ted a bit of family history and some interesting facts learnt - What an amazing man - Love you Dad! Can't wait to finish editing your story and send it to our family. Thanks for your time

On to Newcastle and a yummy afternoon tea with Anne's old mate from her childhood days Julie and her gorgeous, talented children Lachlan and Taylor - So good to see you again!

Arrived in Sydney at Luke and Lyn's place to stay for a few days. James and Ben were also visiting so it became a bit of a family gathering with Rose and partner Dave over as well (so sorry you couldn't make it Nick see you when we hit Melbourne - you were much missed)! It certainly was an action packed weekend not to mention a packed 1 bedroom flat! Thanks heaps Luke &Lyn for letting us all bombard you, Lyn you were a most gracious host. Lots of laughs lots of love and well I think there may have been some sore heads among the lads..... Captain Jimmy thanks for organising the yacht it was such a beautiful day - how lucky are we!! Great to see you again Max (Ben's old school buddy) and thanks heaps for the coffees.

On our last night we saw Leonard Cohen - the man is every bit the consumate performer/ poet that he appears, what a genius!!
