This is where we will be spending Chrissy @ Byron Bay
And you guessed it, what was about to be set in concrete was scuttled in a simple phone call from the daughter of a very dear friend of the brides, a friendship that goes back 45 years.
You may recall on some past blogs I have referred to this friend, although has not been in the best of health for many years now, we have made several visits to her home on the Gold Coast and have on several occasions house sat the holiday home at Byron Bay.
To cut a long story short, her health has deteriorated to the point that she needs 24 hour care, and with her immediate family mainly based in Melbourne, and unable to provide same in the immediate future, the bride has come to the rescue.
So on the 29th of November, the Bride will leave the CP and take up residence on the Goldy to provide the care her friend needs - albeit only to Christmas eve. From that point her adult children will arrive from Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney etc., to spend Christmas with her, and move her to Melbourne in the new year.
I will be staying at the CP (if it isn't sold) till the 23rd December, when I too will be leaving the CP, for the pre organised 2 week break, and will pick up the bride from the Goldie, and head to Byron for the Christmas break at the holiday house. How long we will be there for is an unknown. Each year the family from far and wide congregate at Byron for the annual Chrissy break, so the arrival of these troops is not quite known at this stage, so we will find out once we get there.
So we will just enjoy one of our favourite places in OZ, and of course being a stones throw from our well known haunt of Tyagrah Beach, and you don't need me to tell you why we go there, should be a fantastic break.
We still don't know if we will go back to the CP after our break, nor will we be carting the van with us. That is plan 107, so stay tooooooned.
Cheers and beers
