In drizzling rain with umbrellas, searching for old shoes and gumboots to trudge through the mud - imagine our absolute delight when our Blogland Buddies 'Tonia and Chris' from Sydney drove up. What a surprise, Reinsey and I were stunned and speechless!! hard to imagine, believe me.....whilst Janine grinned like a Cheshire Cat privy to the plan via Facebook - well done Janine.
Tonia and Chris arrived from Sydney this morning to visit their Metricon Display House coupled with a shopping spree. Way to go!!!! What a delightful couple, so special to include us in their visit - safe trip home, our house blogging takes on a whole new meaning.
Beautiful photo's compliments of Janine - wish you could see Tonias 6" stiletto's and all that mud!!

How do you top that?....lunch at Ambrosia's was great - Janine's 'David' was brave enough to join us for coffee before they headed off to check their boundary pegs in readiness for site start.
Reinsey desperately and patiently waiting for slab pour....anticipated Wednesday??
We are truely fortunate to have met so many wonderful people in 'The Avenue' with whom to share our building journey, be it to laugh, cry or whinge. So looking forward to our new home and friendships. Coupled with HomeOne and Blogland I have had so much fun.
Following lunch I returned to our house and reality where John (after 18 holes of golf) and I, moved over 800 surplus bricks to the rear of house.....just in case we need them!!!!
What the.....

| 800 of them! - why does it look so small? |

ReplyDeleteReinsey - Did you cry with laughter or in sympathy with me moving over 800 bricks??!!!! Lets hope your next surprise is a slab.
ReplyDeleteTonia - glad your safely home, new shoes in hand. Did you find your Display? Wonderful surprise; looks like you had one too with your bricks cleaned and gutter/fascia ready to go.
