That is a fantastic shot of you two. I wonder what 5000 dairy goats sound like when baaaaing all at once, it's gotta be funny

So there wasn't any funny goat sounds @JudyEv ? My back fence neighbor has 2 goats and boy do they make the funniest sounds.

@rebelann No, there was a huge covered area full of goats but it was some distance away.

They milk about half at any one time. There was a definite 'goaty' smell getting out of the car but once in the building it disappeared.

yes, because australia is in the southern hemisphere so their seasons are the opposite.

Did you meet here on mylot then decide to meet up in person? That is so awesome you were given a copy of her book. The cafe with the goats sounds neat. I know you love eating goats so this place must have been really cool for you! Seeing that she does missionary work I bet you guys hit it off really well with lots to talk about in person

We met on myLot as I always take notice if someone from Australia joins. I don't mind eating goat meat but I love them alive too. I had a pet goat as a child and she was a great companion. Lynn had been to Nepal too so she and Vince were able to share experiences about the place.

@epiffanie I thought Greg was very sociable and hospitable. Vince talks a lot but I'm mostly pleased as sometimes I can get a bit tongue-tied.

@Bullshark We are probably going back to Ireland next year. One son lives there and I had the Netherlands on my wish list but I think it might be a bit too difficult to organise. If we buy another motor-home (camping car) maybe we'll be able to go there. Money isn't unlimited but if we have our bed and can cook for ourselves, more options become available. Can I ask your nationality? You don't have to tell me but it seems like you're a native English speaker.

It was such a shame wasn't it? But a city can be a very big place, particularly when there is limited time and neither party knows the area well. And who knows? Maybe we'll get to NZ one day or perhaps you'll come west on the Indian Pacific.
