Holiday - 3 Wishes & a Promise

There were a few reasons we headed to Victoria for 10days
  • Wish #1 - take advantage of cheap airfares.
  • Wish #2 - Stella wanted to celebrate her 10th birthday with her best friend.
  • Wish #3 - I wanted to chat & shop with mine.
  • Promise - I said we'd return and stay longer
Everything else was a bonus....
 Stellas best friend is 84yrs old and they met properly for the first time last year when I drove the girls East. 
At the time we'd called in to say hello as Mrs F is the mum of Stellas godfather, who died suddenly 5yrs ago.
Little did we know these two were in fact kindred spirits. They now phone & write regularly and during this trip were inseparable.
  
 Mrs F lives in her new home, which is next to the home she raised 6 children in, which is next to the home she was born & raised in.

We were fortunate to get accommodation at the farm-stay styled resort owned by a family member which was not only luxurious, it was entertaining and a stones throw from town.
 

I was far too busy talking & shopping with my friend Reg to take photos of the 2days & 1night we spent together in the heart of Melbourne - as evidenced by the mishmash of photos.
 
  
We had the best time and are already scheming planning the next one!
