Fri 12 Jan. Quorn SA

A 2 hour journey from Clare to Quorn to visit my cousin Frank. Joy took the wheel for a bit and within 10 minutes the car was beeping as she was driving too fast 😭. Pit stop in Port Germein for our picnic.

As expected Quorn was hot hot hot and above 40 degrees C today but we still walked into town for a look around. We found a lovely place for coffee and then barbecued steak and salad with Frank and Elkie in the evening. We put the world to rights over a few bottles of wine but to be honest the Australians have exactly the same problems as us with the economy, it's just like being at home, apart from the weather.

So glad we drove up to see them, lots of beer, wine and laughter.
