Many cars, one way streets etc. love to hear from everyone and good to hear you are recovering pru

Pru Haugh Hi Ian and Gaby, all of your photos look like they are from a calendar. Doesn't it rain in Germany in summer? It must be lovely for you Gaby to be catching up with old friends. Hope you still want to come back to Australia! I have had a very slow week recovering from my accident. Today I am starting to feel heaps better. I was very lucky. How is the driving and navigation going? Still speaking? Hamish appreciates all the transport shots Ian. Ann and Hugh are leaving today for 5 weeks touring the back blocks of NSW and Queensland with their caravan. We had atrocious weather yesterday when they were trying to pack. They want to get away today before they get invaded by Simon and family. Going over to Mums now to show her your blog. What she can see of it. Essendon are playing GWS this weekend, but I don't know when. They played very well last weekend beating Richmond. Happy sight seeing! Love Pru
