Bill and Leanne drove us up to Albury so they could also pay a visit to Peter and Helen. They stayed for coffee and buns before heading back for the afternoon milking. Peter took us round to their local backpackers where all their important guests stay. We cleaned and brushed up before heading back and enjoying the afternoon and a few beers with them.During the afternoon Helen got a call that her daughter-in-law was in labour, and later in the evening, that she had a new grand-daughter. She was really quite excited. Peter told us several tales about serving in Malaya, and the better pay the Australian forces got. They could drink decent beer in Singapore whereas the British soldier had to make do with �tops� � rather closer to shandy proportions than we would expect to find in Britain now.

Of course we had too much beer and ended up watching some American crap on the backpacker tv before falling into bed to be woken up far too early by some eager workman fixing the road outside the window. You gets what you deserve.
