Rolling hills? Do hills roll? If so, where do they roll to?

Yea well, precipitation is not something we lack here in South Coast NSW. Loving the sign on that lake - 'Swimming is not recommended'

surely you like all the old crafts as much as you like the pancakes! i have a friend who used to have a stall there. she sold her own art and very nice silk products imported from a charity funded program in cambodia but the berry market commitee didn't renew her site contract because the silk items weren't home made. well ,her things were definitely more apealling than some of the crochetted loo roll holders etc on some of the other stalls!the boys are still dropping hints about having one of the pancake griddles for home-- maybe one days soon. the "sticky"flies haven't been as bad as 3 yrs ago- must have used too much spray that year

Last time I went (I kid you not) I saw someone pay money for one of those clocks in the middle of a boat's steering wheel!!! Oh man, I'm going to have to go next time - comedy gold I tell you.
