So... can I have a welcome back from you, dear world wide web, as I continue to relate the travelling Woodleys' adventures one year after last acknowledging you?... Thank you, I'll take that as a yes; and give a

...followed by our annual Bean family getaway...
...which just happened to be at Normanville soon
to become our new (and glorious) local beach...
(the last time we were to use our trusty Viscount...
already been back out west with friends to whom it now belongs) [sniff]
...then a taste of South Aussie skies again as we stay for the

our lovely friends the Monaghans...
...interspersed with some Woodley family fun...
...and a decadent rainbow welcome back cake...

(maybe the eighties' rocker look as not so bad after all!)
...celebrate our oldest's ninth birthday...
...appreciate the hardy and (mostly) reliable caravan one last time...
...before drawing ever closer to our destination...
