UK Friend

Eagle at entrance to Healesville Sanctuary
We've had a friend visiting from Leeds in the UK. I haven't seen her for 26 years and it was SO good to spend four days with her. My itinerary was full and exhausting and we didn't quite make it to the end of my list of things to do, but that was okay. We had a great many laughs along the way, usually at my expense! We tried to give her as comprehensive an overview of our part of Australia as we could, going to Healesville Sanctuary to see the Aussie animals, the Patchwork Tea House (my happy place), Sovereign Hill, Clunes Booktown, Melbourne arcades, market, Shrine of Remembrance, Botanic Gardens ...
We all ended up foot sore and weary, but happy. She's gone to Sydney now, and I miss her.
