Well I'm back from my mini holiday but we crammed so much in in 3 days/2 nights.  Today we drove to Goolwa to their Sunday markets, loved them but didn't have time to look at everything as we wanted to catch the steam Cockle Train to Victor Harbour, something none of us had ever done.  Shopped and ate in Victor, had a ride on the ferris wheel and the kids went in those huge balls which float on top of the water. Just time for an ice-cream before heading back to the train station. Packed up our gear and headed for home as it's GD's birthday tomorrow and we are all going out for an evening meal - the kids will head back to Middleton  on Tuesday with friends and I'll recover from being on the go every day  ;D

I think I will CC, nothing like your own bed and it did take me forever to get to sleep last night.

Thanks to you and Cookie for doing my share of the moderating whilst I've been away.  The coverage down there wasn't the greatest, only 1 or 2 bars with Telstra and even less for SIL with Optus so I was just happy if I could read the postings without commenting too much.   :-* :-*

Sounds like a wonderful few days Judy.  A break away does everyone the world of good; refreshes the mind, plus it's so good to get back home afterwards.  :D

Great to hear things turned around for you Judy and you were able to get a break and spend some time with DD and the GK's. Sounds like you had a lovely time.

It is fun BZB, here's some images - we just used our hands to dig for them.  They're also known as pipis.

Yummy Judy. I call them clams and like them raw as well as cooked.  There are all sorts and you can get some quite good sized ones but not here so much. Lucky me I can be fresh cryopacked  ones just up the road. The salt water cockles I love too but have never seen any up here. When in Thailand we eat kilos of them.  Do the GK's  like them?
