Where do I start. Maybe with…. I haven’t done any sewing at all.
We headed to Melbourne for a special weekend. So, the first night we made it to Sea Lake. Accommodation wasn’t great but Dinner was amazing. I had spicy mushrooms
and Tony had fish n chips.
Next day we were in Port Melbourne at THE LOCAL pub. I had seafood pasta.
Tony had a beautiful pie and mash. 
Can you tell we like our food.
Our night was spent with the OZ HOGS, the Melbourne Harley chapter’s General meeting. I had made a quilt to donate to them. It used one of their T-shirts and a special pin and a badge/patch that was my Haus ands from when he was a member. We presented it during general business as they had no idea they were getting it. They loved it. We had a great night.
Next morning we did a drive by my friends new to them home a few kms up the road.Took a little photo to say hi and we were thinking of them. I haven’t seen them for a few years…
We then headed to Bacchus Marsh for brunch and of course, a quilt shop. It is a new one where it has a cafe. We shopped in the cafe and the quilt shop.
Next up the road to St Anne’s winery for some white port, yummy. Then off to Ballan and a visit to Millrose Cottage. Yes I bought a few things.
On the way back to Bacchus Marsh to visit an Aunty we had this beautiful view of the You Yangs.
We had a beautiful visit and the headed to another friends for a very fun catch up night and was looked after and fed very well. Thank you so much Jo. We have been friends for about 42 years.Sorry no photos. We spent the night telling stories of our recent trips and lots of laughs. They will be in Japan the same time as me. Exciting. We were then sent on our way after a fully cooked breakfast. Oh my.
Back home again and we had an unexpected visit from Janice and Mick. Janimary
We went for a drive to show them around town. Had a stop at the Art Gallery and Rio Vista Homestead. This was where Mildura began. The Chaffey story.
Then off to tea at the RSL. It was amazing.
We had someone have a look at our bus and they have bought it. So we now say goodbye to BASIL.
I am also working a full week by myself as my boss is on holidays. It’s the first time I have been by myself. The days are flying by. I have just had my first one year anniversary with working at CARPET ONE MILDURA.
Today is another celebration. We moved to Mildura 7 years ago. WOW. The time has flown. Any wonder I am so exhausted.
I hope to spend the weekend making my challenge project as it has to be handed in next Tuesday at our AGM. Thanks Janice for helping to sort out a design problem.
I AM EXHAUSTED. So many milestones covered….. THIS HAS BEEN MY WEEK…….

What a fun packed time you had! The Harley quilt is amazing.
Look at that mans face beside you Jo, he is absolutely rapt with the Harley Quilt, you have had a super busy week and some wonderful meals. 7 years in Mildura, it doesn't seem that long ago you moved, well to me!!
I'm not surprised there was no time for sewing. What a busy and exciting time you've had lately! The Harley quilt is amazing - what a cool surprise for them. Very cool to cath up with Janice and Mick. Great news to hear that Basil is sold!
Incredibly busy, but all in a good way. Great to catch up with Janice and Mick.
That was a full week!
I didn't know about the quilt shop in Bacchus Marsh. Will have to go and check it out some time.
Such a lovely trip. The quilt is lovely and very detailed. Well done girl! Lots of stitching and foody delights along the way. Nice to catch up with friends.
I’m tired just reading about your week….and then we turn up….I must say, you ate rather well while you were away. It was so good to spend some time with you. Thanks for showing us around. That’s great news that Basil has found a new home. You must nearly feel settled in, now it is seven years since your move. Where did that go?
a fantastic post....love to see those pix from 'down under' and glad to see you are keeping up your strength with the yummy looking grub...lol
OK, I'm not a regular reader of your blog, but now I know where you are and that you've been to places I know. Wow.....a new quilt shop in Bacchus Marsh. There was one many years ago and I've not been to Mill Rose Cottage since before the pandemic. I'll follow more often and maybe get some mojo back. Thanks for sharing, take care and hugs.
