What an amazing day!  Wonderful people, delicious food, lots of excellent wine (cheers Gert!), a gorgeous house with stunning views, great conversation and lots of laughs!   Oh, I need to mention again the amazing food  . It is quite special how just after a few mins of meeting, everyone was chatting like old friends.  Wonderful to meet so many lovely people - especially the guest of honour CC.
 
Thanks so much to Ral and Bess (hosts of the century), also to Wonder and Cuildh for ferrying the adelaide contingent to and from airport.

Safely back home after dropping off my three Adelaide ladies at the airport ... with only one small wrong turn.

What a wonderful day we had, Chookie, Ral and Denise and Bruce and Mandy worked so hard everything went so smoothly and we all had a fabulous time.  Special thanks to Gert for bubbles and Uni for giving us all our names so we didn't lose our glasses. 

It was lovely to meet everyone and it was as if we had known each other for ages.  The lucky dip was great fun - Bess was ably assisted by ILB's daughter and Deedub's two daughter's as well.   There are loads of photos as well, but I couldn't see them because I was driving.  You are all going to have a memorable weekend in Adelaide - I heard all about it on the drive to the airport.

Thanks to everyone in Cherokee.
