A quiet day updating the blog, reading and relaxing.
In the evening we were chatting about Brumbies, the wild horses of Australia. Kylie read out an emotional poem about the Brumby (opposite) and we ended up watching a beautiful movie called “The Man from Snowy River” which focused on the Brumby but also gave a wonderful feel of the mountains and rough lifestyle of the Australian horse people.
I think Kylie should be a teacher…she has immersed you in the experience, emotionally charged you and given you the great Banjo Patterson on a plate to digest for the rest of your life
Are you fair dinkum?? (thank you!)
You ARE a teacher, and I know Mo will go from one amazing experience to another… I am actually getting quite excited to read the blogs from there! (Still so tickled you said ‘the’great’ Banjo Patterson) 😀
Yep he was one of my grandad’s favourites and my primary school teacher just loved reading us “The Man from Ironbark” and shouting “Murder, bloody murder!”.
I have a lot to live up to, I think Maureen will have a quiet life here by comparison!
