Home to the New Chookpen

This is a very IMPORTANT blog entry.Yes we are home again after a wonderful, wonderful holiday and more about that in the next few days. This entry however is just to say THANK YOU,Thank you and Thank you to some wonderful people.

To Goos and Ger in Holland and their children and in-law children. They took us abolutely everywhere. We only had to show interest, and we were there in the next few days.They treated us to a week in France and welcomed us into their home . Two very special people.

Then there were a big bunch of people at home, working their hearts and bodies to the limit so that we could come home to our own house,use our own shower,sleep in our own bed and cook on our own stove. Those were our wonderful children and partners and the little ones probably helped also Scott & Jo,Rick & Karen and Vicki and Travis. Also included were my lovely sister Annette and husband Gary. They had a busy bee to unpack most things ,install what had to be installed ( even a nuisance wardrobe (sorry Gary) ,washed and cleaned ,bought what needed replacing,including some basics and new mattress & linen and left enough food to start us off for the first week.Nephew Matthew did a great job with levelling and building walls. Thanks Matt.

Our arrival at the airport was so beautiful, all the grandies running towards us,screaming and everyone else there to greet us . Tea for everyone was put on and Trev's sister Viv, B-i-L Mick and their grandies joined us too.

I may not show a great deal of emotion but boy, I feel it and we both THANK everyone from the bottom of our hearts. I think all of the above will agree that Rick deserves a special mention for all the jobs he organised and all the work he did, he even had our cars serviced. Yes , we really think you've done a great job.

Even our chickens knew we were coming home, they started to lay a few days before and we get 2 eggs regularly.Well..........
