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 :-))

Thanks for that clarification Judy :) I hope Robyn posts back soon and tells me who her profile photo is!

As you can see, I'm quite happy to have a photo of myself as my profile photo :-)) I'm not shy lol ;)

We all have our on line names Amy and almost all of us are also happy to share our real our real names among friends. It will be interesting at the weekend retreat  to see if we can put faces to names especially those who have  two faces names.

Well I would have walked in the shop, walked out & asked around showing the photo Obbie uses, got in my car & gone home disappointed.

So glad Gert you dont think like me. Lovely photo of you both & lovely lovely shop front. Oh to be a little kitchen shop. Robably just as well,  it would have no stock left ;D

The shop is really lovely with beautiful,timber floors and heritage colours on the walls. Looks like some  original light  fittings too. H it used to be a very expensive restaurant and they are lucky to have  it .

It would make a lovely shop for you H or Maddy but I would really like to see uni and a deli. I am not into drainage  stuff but somehow it works and is a valuable asset to the area as are Robyn and her DH.

Robyn and Gert how very exciting. I remember visiting Yungaburra (spelling?) when we visited that area a few years ago. We stayed in Atherton and travelled round and did all the tourist things. Loved Mareeba and then DH decided he would drive down the Kuranda hill with the caravan on. He didn't comment much when we got to the bottom. ;)
