Having started the blog in such detailed and lyrical fashion, the majority of readers will have decided this dribble is not for them and will have switched to twitter, twatter or twatever they find more amusing.
For those who have perservered, they will have noted that this blog post dates the earlier by a whole twelve months. Time enough for the author and his fellow traveller to become grandparents three more times. The interegnum, as it would be described in political jargon, is a story on it's own and will not, out of respect, be woven into the ensuing ramblings of these peripatetic pensioners. Armed with as much worldly ignorance as can be expected from leafy suburban dwellers we head for Hong Kong and then the famous "two eyed" town of Ipswich situated somewhere in sunny Suffolk. We leave for others a Melbourne winter which as can be seen from the attached photo began with a practice in early March.
