24th & 25th

Hello all,

So I shall pick up from Saturday morning. We were up rather early so we could have a proper look around. It was the best nights sleep we have had in a very long time with a lovely comfy bed so we were up very refreshed. We made some toast and sat by the pool with an exceptionally good sunny morning. Deborah left us to go to work and Ian took us on a tour of the property. First of all was a walk up the garden to see the waterfalls which were needless to say beautiful. Coupled with the morning weather we could have spent all morning there. Ian showed us some aboriginal wash pits in the sand stone which were very interesting. We had a walk back through the 'bush' and Ian showed us his race cars. One of the rally cars being a Renault Clio RS and I was in love haha! After most of the morning discussing different setups we went back for some lunch. Again we sat by the pool and relaxed for a bit. After lunch Ian took us to his work and showed us around and also 3 other race cars. One being a proton rally car, another was a Clio RS and the other was a Ford Cosworth. We went back home to change a wheel on Ian's road car (Clio RS) as he had bent the rim. Wheel changed and Laura and me nipped into town to have a look around. We grabbed some essentials and tonight's dinner. We got back home and Myles did a couple of little jobs on the patio and had a look around. Deborah came home from work and told us we were having steak for dinner!! We had bought a pizza haha! A little while later and we sat down to an incredible feast of steak mushrooms onion gravy veggies oh it was heavenly. Myles waited excitedly for the F1 to come on having not watched it for 3 months excitement levels were rather high... The program came on and he fell silent haha. We watched qualifying and went to bed.

Sunday morning arrived and yet again it was a stunning morning. The bed was so comfortable we had a lay in until half 9! We got up and again had breakfast by the pool. Myles started some garden work by weeding one of the flower beds by the pool. Deborah meanwhile had cleared out a cupboard for Myles to fit a rotary draw thing that goes in a corner cupboard. After what was longer than expected to put the spinny thing together  we went to put in the cupboard but the old shelf needed to be removed. It was screwed in and needed to be smashed out as it couldn't be unscrewed. This was left to Ian as it wasn't Myles kitchen! Eventually this was taken out and the spinny thing was screwed in. Myles also hung a kitchen rail on the wall. For lunch today we were treated to our first Australian BBQ. Myles cooked the meat and we all sat down by the pool to enjoy our feast. It was so lovely, after all feeling rather full the afternoon was spent in the garden doing odd jobs weeding etc.

 Myles also helped Ian fix the swimming pool filter ready for summer while Laura did some odd jobs in the house. Dinner again was cooked by Deborah for us and it was a heavenly joint of roast pork. Oh how we have missed a roast dinner. With this came roasted pumpkin! We were a bit skeptical but both tried it and loved it!! Rather surprised we had seconds lots of gravy, onions and crackling!  Only 20 or so mins later Myles sat down to watch the Grand Prix as Laura retired to bed.
