MONET
ITS A HIT!!!!
Paul writes my puns
Well along with losing audio files and video not uploading everything has gone well!
Monets is France's best known painter and this is his house and garden in Giverny.
What a lovely surprise we happened to be on the road (nearly) that Monet's house and garden were on. A beautiful stop with a lovely reason for stopping.

ALL ABOUT KIM AND PAUL IN EUROPE
Everyday is a farewell to something
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved travel. Even a two week stint on a cheap European getaway was a huge adventure to me. I was fortunate (or unfortunate) to move around a lot in my early years with 3 years and 9 schools in Australia before returning to England, but the mini breaks during high school were such fun. Paul had a similar experiences and he spent 3 years in Malta before returning to my high school in England. Now we wish to re-visit some of those old places and memories with each other and say farewell to Europe. Especially as we hope to be back in Australia in a couple of years.
Will it be our last trip to Europe, I hope not but it very much may be.
OUR LOGO!
Harley and Sheena designed our Logo
So those two Mutts got together and designed a logo. Since then they have added mug designs. towels, T shirts and business cards. There must be unused Vistaprint business cards laying in gutters all over the world!
THE KIDS
The monster on the left is Harley.
He is half Blue Merle Collie and half Labrador. But there is a breed of dog in the USA called a Catahoula Leopard Dog which shares all his quirky characteristics although he is a Devon dog, born and bred. We have Tony to thank for him, and do every day. Harley is 5 now.
Siné is not a monster at all, a mostly well behaved lady although a bit more grumpy than she used to be. A classic black lab who loves to do teefies upside down on the bed. Sine is now 9.
COOKING MOHO STYLE
This is where we shall show you Pauls one pan delights. Although this roast cooked in the Moho did involve a few more pans!
WALTZING MATILDA, THE STORY,
THE WORDS.
We had a lovely friend called Marylin. She is not with us any more but she made us re-evaluate our time-line in regard to travel and life. We were going to name the Moho Marylin in her honour but we got sad every time we said her name. She would not have wanted that, so Matilda just sort of evolved.
Of course it helps that I am Australian and we shall be Waltzing her around Europe
Waltzing Matilda was written by Banjo Patterson in 1895 and the best link I have found describes the evolution of the song and the Strine definitions is at https://trishansoz.com/trishansoz/waltzing-matilda/waltz.html
