Great to hear Robyn! I hope we will all meet each other one day :D

But I must admit that I am a little confused... Gretchen and Gert are the same person, right? ???

Yes Amy, Gretchen, Gretch, Gert, Gertie - all the same person  ;)

Thanks Robyn and I'm so pleased that you finally met each other - how far apart are you in distance and travelling time?

Well it took me an hour and a half  because of some road works.

Thanks Robyn for the LEMON marmalade.

Robyn has a shop full of stuff in a beautiful heritage listed building in the quaint village of Yungaburra. On the Atherton Tablelands. It is a beautiful drive from Cairns through some great farming country.  COFFEE, strawberries, mangos, all kinds of citrus, and veggies as well as peanuts.





Sadly we did not have a lot of time but Robyn did share a bit of her life  with me and she is certainly one lucky woman.  I wished we lived closer as Robyn would make  a great friend and neighbour.

I wanted a pic of the huge lemon tree but this was all that was left.



Thanks Robyn it was great meeting you and we will meet up again.

That shop is just full of bits and pieces of I know not what.

Gert

How lovely to see some photos of your business and you at last Robyn - what a quaint little shop you have. Now we can picture where you are when you're posting on the forum - it's great when you can spend so much time on the forum at work and not get into trouble with the boss  :D 

It sounded like a nice trip up there Gretchen, I hope you haven't put yourself out too much just to pick up a book for me but at least you have finally done what you promised Robyn you would do and that is to visit her up there some time.  Thanks again and the photos are great  :-* :-*

Isn't it funny how I thought your pic on here was really you Obbie. Nice to finally be able to see the real you.
It seems like you girls had a great day.

Amy, there is a selection of profile pictures people can choose from if they don't wish to put their own picture up and this is what Robyn has done.  Where it did become confusing was when a new member a while back also chose the same picture.  Until then I'd thought it was Robyn but it's some singer or actress or someone - Robyn who is it again :-))
