Long Long Drive

We set off driving to Melbourne to see a family friend, Jill.  It took two days of driving and when we got there, there was a drought in Melbourne so were lucky if we could get a shower.  All water was being recycled.  From the remnents of the washing machine to the dirty washing up water, was all saved to water the dyign flowers.

It made me chuckle how when we are short of water in England, we have a hose pipe ban.  When they have a drought in Australia, they restrict to water so the population of melbourne can only use their hose pipes for two hours in the evening!!!!   That's logic for you!!!

We spent a few days in Melbourne, went shopping and ate lots and got to catch up with Jill which was great.  I have to say thanks to Jill for her hospitality and her patience with certain step grandfathers!!
