When i read your blog entry i am reminded of that goodbye song from Sounds of music that goes something like this:

There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say “cuckoo”
[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]
Cuckoo, cuckoo

[Children: Marta, Gretl, Brigitta: ]
Regretfully they tell us Cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us Cuckoo, cuckoo
To say goodbye . . .
[Marta, Gretl, Brigitta:]
Cuckoo!
[Children:]
. . . to you

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night
[Marta:]
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, adieu
[Friedrich:]
Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu

[Children:]
So long, farewell, au revoir, auf wiedersehen
[Liesl:]
I’d like to stay and taste my first champagne

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
[Kurt:]
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye — Goodbye!
[Brigitta:]
I’m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie
[Louisa:]
I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly
[Gretl:]
The sun has gone to bed and so must I

[Children:]
So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

[Guests:]
Goodbye!

Except that we shall see you again one day if not on this earth then in Glory!!
ITs not our final goodbye… but may God bless you guys all heaps..
and cant wait to follow your journey if you get time to blog!!!

Of course you will be missed. 3 months is a long time to be off to parts far away. If we don’t hear from your blog for the entire trip we will know that you are having the time of your life with your family. You are so lucky to have made a plan and actually been able to follow it. Have a great time, I will be looking forward to reading all about it when you have time to share.

Our Church is a very hugging Church lots of people hug hello, goodbye, how are you etc. We got feedback that it puts newcomers off. Strange strange world.

Of course you will be missed silly! I can’t imagine netball, or church, or life without you!

And the hugging was nice wasn’t it. Malcolm and Heather did the rounds also as they are also off on a big trip. It felt really nice and “family”.
