Weather creates disappointment

Our friends, Ros and Kev, were planning to come up and stay with us this weekend, but because of the dreary, and often, wet weather we have been having, and probably will be having again, they reluctantly decided to pull the pin.
Ros (who is one of my regular blog-readers) and Kev own the beautiful Yeranda at Barrington Tops Cottages near Dungog, in the Hunter Valley, near Newcastle, and we have been friends for hmmm close on ten years I reckon. Many a delightful weekend has been spent in either Pindari Cottage or Kalimna Cottage, with other friends. We have lovely memories of our stays there.
Ros is a fanatical naturalist as well as being a brilliant wildlife photographer, and she was so looking forward, as Kev was, to coming up and checking out Larnook and surrounds.
Here's hoping that you guys can come up sometime later this year.

And a blatant plug: If you would like a perfectly relaxing and rejuvenating few days, go stay there! Their website is www.yeranda.com.au and all the details of the cottages and costs are there (it is an extremely affordable place). For those of you who might like a tree-change, Ros and Kev are downsizing and have offered Yeranda for sale. I often fantasised about owning Yeranda when I would stay up there, thinking about the various tasks that would need to be done, all the time surrounded by the beautiful forests of the Barrington Tops. Anyway, if you'd like to consider purchasing the property, just talk to Ros and Kev.

And hello to Ros and Kev through this blog! In support of the shameless plug, having stayed there several times too, I can say that Yeranda is really lovely and that Ros and Kev are the very best hosts.

Gee, welcome aboard to the Comments option, David Once of Newcastle (not a comma there, Reader?). I hope to start enjoying many pithy, telling, comments.
