Home sweet home!

This will be the last blog of our trip. We eventually got the car back and in retrospect, it was only a tiny hiccup, but at the time seemed to be a long wait. 

We celebrated the return of our car by watching the John Farnham movie at Port Pirie - which we really loved! We went to the afternoon session when it was mild and sunny, and came out later to find it cold wet and miserable. Seems like that was the beginning of winter for us as it’s been like that since then. We visited my sister Heather in Victor Harbor and saw the seat honouring Mum & Dads memory - pity it was a bit damp to sit on it! 

Our trip ended with a lovely day at Seppelt’s  Winery at Great Western where we undertook the underground cellar tour. That was an amazing tour -  to think how difficult it must have been, digging all those tunnels by hand all those years ago, then the foresight people have had to preserve that for others to enjoy today. We also popped into Best’s winery where their cellars were a little more modest but great to see as well. Thank you Paul & Noelene for your hospitality and for encouraging us to stay and do the tour. The wine tasting was pretty good too! 

We arrived home to find our fire going - (many thanks Trevor) the river up high again (thank you Kristian for rescuing the jetty) and our front verandah cemented. What a difference that has made and we’re certainly glad to see the last of those brick pavers! I can’t wait to put pot plants and furniture back to see the full effect. 

We’re now sitting in our comfy chairs, enjoying the warmth and reflecting on the many great times we enjoyed on this trip. We are certainly very fortunate to be able to undertake these trips and explore the wonderful country we live in. So until our next big trip, I’ll sign off and thank you to our readers for making writing these blogs worthwhile. ❌❌❌❌ Marg & Darryl.
