A friend and I are driving north into foreign territory tomorrow, and heading to the beachside town of Caloundra, on the Sunshine Coast.

I used to belong to the Down to Earth Forum, (which is now closed) an online meeting place for those interested in simplifying their lives, who came together from all over the world to share ideas about homemaking, gardening, frugality and all manner of other topics related to our homes, gardens and families and just to have fun. Before the Forum closed, a Queensland get-together was suggested, and this is happening this weekend. I haven't met any of the ladies who'll be there, but I'm looking forward to meeting them, and continuing our online conversations face to face. Once again, it's a case of the internet being a positive influence and bringing like minded people together.
We're taking the scenic route north, avoiding the motorway and going out through the countryside where we'll will stop for lunch at Somerset Dam. I'm sure there'll be plenty of litle towns that will beckon us in for a look as well.
See you all next week..........
Have fun in 'foreign' parts! You don't even have to adjust your watch at this time of year :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, yes, it's that time of the year when you 'foreigners'are still in step with we Southies. :)
DeleteHave a safe journey Nanette. I'm sure you all will have fun at the get-together. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nil, I'm sure we will, and we'll raise a teacup to you and all the others who are too far away to join us.
DeleteEnjoy the meet-up, certainly going to be a few of you there. Hoping the weather is superb.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little adventure and very exciting to (re)meet people in the flesh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Sounds like you will all have a wonderful time. I think Nanna Chel from Toowoomba will be there too. We are in Noisa this weekend for a family wedding
