Robo's REST

04/05/2023

Wishing my strong, resilient, adaptable and loving husband a fabulous birthday. Your ability to make change when you decide, blows me away - you are inspirational to many. Thanks for being my best friend - have a great day.

Wow 5 months - it’s been busy.
The greatest news being we have welcomed our first grandchild in November (we are very hooked on this job) - sold the farm - graduated from MOC - found a house - packed up farm and house - had a little holiday - and moved!
Now we are townies, settling in well - building a new life.
New surrounds, new adventures - time just keeps ticking - make the most of every minute! (How many seconds Tom?)

Not really sure how to start this post – but to apologize to many family and friends that F*Book is how you find out our news – not enough hours (and tears) this week – so..

It would seem that the doing of Ag is just not our passion anymore – and so after much heartache and many years of Robinson family prosperity – we offer Killarney to the market – in the hope to find new owners with passion and excitement, to love our beautiful piece of the world.

As one door closes, another will open…. they say – we are both excited to find new challenges and hope to find a renewed balance to life - enjoying family and friends company more often. We hope to settle somewhere near our communities of Dubbo and Geurie, however that travel bug may well bite again too.

A huge thank you to our gorgeous boys and their beautiful partners for such unwavering support and love through this process – you are our rocks.

Contract Harvesting 2020 done ✅.
Very grateful for good crops and a busy season - Ben at Walgett to start - then the two headers around Geurie.
First class effort from our team especially our chief chaser bin driver David - could not have done it without him.
Thanks to all our clients - your support and help in es**rt vehicles, moving grain and organizing was awesome.

Now to catch our breath and gear up for our return to farming on March 1st!!

Maybe the REST needs a new definition - Regenerate Educate and Stay on Track!! Suggestions???

Half way through isolation and negative tests this week - so life is good. Cleaning up, bookwork and a little relaxing - just as well we are a pair from way back!!
Hope everyone is staying calm and adjusting to our new normal for a little while.
We are all in this together. 🏡 🙏 😘

And home!!!
Some long hours to change flights again - a very full flight from Paris - huge uncertainty and nerves in every airport as students, expats and travelers are all being told to head for home.
Flights are few boarders are shut, hotels and cafes closed. Most were lucky to get to the airport.
We will be in isolation for 2 weeks at the farm - thanks to Bens mates who are going to put him up. Our bed is calling!!!
We live in a lucky country people - but take this virus for real and the need to be careful. Whole country’s are in a lot of pain already - we really need to take heed of the warnings - and react quicker.

Paris - never been so happy to see a big city!! Flight out of Naples yesterday. Heading home!
We had a fabulous bus tour and cruise with heaps of great Aussie’s and Kiwis.
Cancelled our plans to go to Northern Italy - went to Sorrento. Got one beautiful day on the Amalfi Coast and the lockdown net caught up.

Much gratitude to our beautiful travel buddies - for the last 5 days we have all kept level heads and a sense of humour while completely changing our plans at least every day sometimes twice a day - cancelling rebooking!!

Making lemonade from lemons while we can - it’s been good weather at least.
Aussies love your country a little bit more today - we are the lucky country. 😘❤️
