Jess and I are running away to Europe.. but we will be back in 6 months so don't miss us too much.
As mature adults we are more than capable of budgeting and planning accommodation for the whole trip, however, we decided to wing it and go without much of a plan. Why? we will never know! But with Hamish and Andy as our role models how can we possibly go wrong?
We hope you enjoy seeing the pictures that we post, reading about the crazy adventures we have and snickering at our misfortunes that we will encounter along the way. It is a big step in our lives and a journey that will help us discover the true meaning of being independent. Don't worry about us too much though, I am confident that Jess will be able to take great care of us both.

A little slice of heaven

So the past couple of days have been pretty relaxing! 

The other day we spent all day cutting material for Cathy to make into chicken jumpers. Cathy and Alex run an animal rescue centre and they rescue about 150 or so chickens that are about to be sent off to the abattoir. These chickens are all featherless so that is where the jumpers come in! So we spent the whole day watching chick flicks and cutting up material for these little chickeny jumpers. 
At around lunch time we decided to get up and stretch our legs. We glanced out the window and lo and behold, there it was. The most magical sight our eyes had ever beheld. Snow!! It was snowing right there in our back yard! 
Like little children on Christmas morning, we grabbed our jumpers, bolted for the door and stood outside for ages just watching the snow fall to the ground. We looked up and it fell into our eyeballs and onto our tongues! Who would have thought that it would taste like water? Haha ahh amazing! It fell so gently like rain but softer! Ahhh it was so cool!!!!!!
Sadly it didn't get thick enough to build a snow man but it was so beautiful! 

Yesterday was a lazy day but we did clean out part of the kitchen in the morning. We were so tired in the afternoon though, so Jess and I both napped (pffft what Nanas). After dinner we watched a movie and had an early night. It must be the weather that is making us so tired. 

I was told in the morning that I stole 3/4 of the bed last night.. Oops... Hahaha I'm a little bit sorry. I had a great sleep though and Jess kicked me over to my side anyway so I'm sure it was fine. I'll try better tonight...

Today we got off our lazy butts (after watching a movie) and took the dogs for a hike! 
We played fetch with Tanzy and Dougal the whole way.
Such stunning views!! 
When we got home Jess and I found Fred cleaning his male bits and suddenly realised that we didn't really know how cats reproduced. So we googled it and we questioned why 'doggy style' was called 'doggy style' when cats do pretty much the same thing. I suppose 'feline style' doesn't have the same ring to it. 

I went for a run along the sheep paddocks. My body was so confused! It was freezing but hot at the same time.. So it decided to feel numb rather than any particular temperature. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon thinking about what Jess should do at uni, watching Jimmy Fallon and reading story books to Leo!  

It has been an very lovely past couple of days. Cathy and Alex have been so welcoming and we feel right at home. 

We shall check in again in a few days!!

    Gosh, I am surprised at how little work you have been asked to do.......... What a lovely couple. I rather expected that you would be kept fairly busy, but I am sure you help out wherever you can. Sounds heavenly. Love to you both. Grandmaaa xx
