People keep asking...

People keep asking me about suggestions for a gift. That is always a difficult question to answer.

We really don't need anything more at the moment. We were quite overwhelmed by the generosity of our guests at our Taos wedding.

In light of ourselves feeling so well off, you may consider giving to someone who really does need a gift. We would appreciate donations to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal almost as much as those receiving support from the Red Cross.

But if giving to that charity is not your thing, and you would like to give us something more tangible, we would also appreciate contributions towards a piece of furniture made by my cousin Mark. Then we will have something special to look forward to when we move (back) to Australia. Check out his website: markschair.com.

Another way of giving something tangible is buying online from a US site and having them send it to us. Most items from our Crate and Barrel registry were given to us by guests at our Taos wedding (although there are a couple of goodies left on the list).

If none of these suggestions help - use your imagination! If you have something in mind that you want us to have, then go for it!!

Finally, I know it's difficult to find something that we can take back to Albuquerque with us in our luggage. We may end up leaving a few things in Australia to be picked up on our next visit, or saving them to enjoy when we move back there. It's a way of celebrating our wedding for years to come!

Camping at Wickliffe

Earlier, I had suggested that you could camp at the footy ground at Wickliffe. I didn't mean on the ground, I just meant at the ground. Sorry for the confusion.

Apparently they have just sown new grass on the oval, so camping at the footy oval is not such a good idea anyway. I don't think the shower block will be open for our use either.

So, that leaves us with two options for camping: on the farm or at the Bolac caravan park. Mum and Dad welcome you to come and pitch your tent in the paddock - but be prepared for a queue for the shower in the morning! The caravan park is only a fifteen minute drive away, so that may suit some people better.

Even though we can't camp at the footy ground, we will still be having breakfast there the next morning!
