Hi everyone,

We’re back from another adventure up at the Copthorne motel in Omapere! It was a very long drive up, during which Penny unfortunately lost the game of I Spy, and had to eat a jalapeno.

The doctors at the retreat were very kind to us and some even had a bit of a dance which was great to see! It’s always interesting trying to find a fiddle tune that you can turn into a cha cha. 

Grace & Emile were locked out of their motel room (new low!), very unfortunate when it is pouring with rain at midnight and everybody else is asleep. However,  thanks to our jalapeno eating criminal mastermind, they were able to break back in. Band meeting was held the following morning on the deck overlooking the sand dunes - all were confirmed present and it’s unanimous, the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet was the highlight of our trip.

Cheerio!
