Does 3 days count as a holiday ? (Mods please move or whatever  ;D)

This was our mini break at the Boorowa Irish Woolfest over the long weekend. Boorowa is gorgeous and the Irish Woolfest had a very strong dash of authentic Aussie

The pics are:
-old Boorowa Court House with art show, arts and crafts, tea rooms and Visitor Centre inside
-tiny part of the crowd waiting for the running of the sheep down the town's main street (apparently up to 14,000 people visit Boorowa for the Woolfest)
-the (tail end) of the running of the sheep (it was so great I almost forgot to take a pic ;D)

If you are interested there's more pics on TruBlu's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TruBluTravelling and there will be more on the TruBlu Travelling website soon.

Let our holiday begin.  We are in Melbourne after a very civilised 2 champers and a movie flight.  Waiting in the lounge, we have an hour delay. Hoping Tassie lays on the sunshine.

Happy holidays to everyone. We are half way through our 26 days in Oahu. Weather is a glorious 30 degrees, lots of beach and pool time. But I really miss my kitchen, pantry and thermomix! We have a 3 bedroom villa with full kitchen but it just isn't the same as having my stuff! Cost me a fortune to buy spices the other day to make a basic chicken curry and to top it all off, they have no garam masala! (That is unless I wanted to go to the local organic shop and pay through the nose).

Oh well first world problems, I am in my happy place and am surrounded by my loved ones.
