Farewell lovely friends and safe travels home.  What a great weekend .. even when things didn't go perhaps as well as planned or hoped, it didn't matter, we will always remember those times as well as those times when things went without a hitch.  I loved meeting you all and getting a chance to spend time 'face to face' with my forum friends.

I am sorry I dropped out this afternoon after the tramcar restaurant (which was great, wasn't it?), I started walking along the river and was going to head up to the hotel to see who was around, but I didn't have sun protection on and began to feel grotty so decided it would probably be wise just to head home.  So, to everyone still in Melbourne to whom I haven't said a proper goodbye, you are in my thoughts and I am sending 'goodbye' vibes to you all.  Kimmy and Wonder, I think I also wandered off without saying cheerio to you both last night.  Sorry about that ... I am easily distracted, it seems!

Until we meet again ....

Sending big hugs out your way Marina. It was warm in the sun today, I quite agree.

We were all over the place like a dog's breakfast when we returned to the hotel this afternoon Marina so you probably wouldn't have found too many of us anyway.  It was lovely to see you again and thanks so much for your input into this year's  FF.  It was another success and I'm sure no-one was disappointed.  Bye till  we catch up again.

Tramcar sounds like it was a great day.
Thanks chookie and cookie for organising everything yesterday. I had a wonderful time. Loved the yum Cha class. Tina is the perfect demo lady....funny and clever.
I enjoyed the meal last night too. You are all wonderful warm people (hubbies too) and it was lovely to chat in real time face to face with you all.  Cookie thanks for the change room and yes this little black duck made it home safe and was tucked up in bed just after 11pm.  Although I had one little drama.... ds6 and I bumped into each other in the dark passage last night. I was tip toeing around and he was sleep walking!  Poor thing woke with a fright and there was lots of tears followed by lots of cuddles. And I thought I was well practiced at sneaking in late!! Safe travels everyone and thanks again X

As mentioned last night, for those that have the Philips pasta machine (and those that don't, not mentioning anyone.....Denise) here's a video link to the new cookie discs (hope it's ok to post this. Sorry if it's not)

Sounds like you all had a fantastic lunch on the tram. I was so sad to miss out on it  but was so happy that Uni was able to enjoy my spot
today. Hopefully next time I can be there in person instead of being there in spirit as I was this weekend.. Love u all xxx😄

Sorry we missed the tram.  Wonderful feed back.
DIL went back home after cooking class and made pork buns. She has sent me a photo, will try and send it to CC to see if she can post it.
