Home safe n sound.  Great you meet you all and share stories. Amazing how similar our stories are in our quest to search our Family history.  One thing we all had in common was our admiration for the wonderful Rootschatters who have assited us over the years.   ;D  ;D  ;D

Many thanks WiggyHobbes for organising this Melbourne mini meet, very much appreciated.

Cheers, Red

You all said you didn't mind when I checked with you all!  ;D 

- want me to remove it Ted?  It is a very friendly face, so what's wrong??
I have more photos but won't post them yet - Morrie might want to post some of his 100 or so!!  ;)  ;)

Thanks Red - wasn't hard to find something to talk about was it!  :D  :D

Well it was great to meet you all & your lovely teddies,  ;D

we had a lovely chat & many interesting stories, thanks for arranging it Wiggy  ;D

I eventually got home after having to change at Flinders St. then having to get a bus between Camberwell & Box Hill because of works on the line to find hubby had been waiting for me at the station for about an hour & a half but he didn't mind,  ;)

We went to McDonalds then for tea,  ;D

Well I have to say my trip home by car was very smooth and warm and quick!  Sorry you had trouble Yvonne!    Fancy Leonie living just up the road - a little way! 

It was fun wasn't it!      :D
