Over the past 15 years or so, I would often get an esky (or a cooler of some sort) and / or a travel book, road atlas. I have nine esky / coolers in the garage, I've purchased only one (two if the one on the front of the Elite camper trailer), and I have at least six books / atlas, in a cupboard downstairs.
But hey, my Mum (who is now 95 yo), did have some memory problems, and now some mobility problems, so Helen has (for the past few years) offered to do Christmas (and Birthday) shopping for her. This year (and last) I received a very nice RM Williams shirt.
The travel gift theme has not gone altogether though, as this year I received from the children (are they still children in their 30's and 40's?) and grand children, a couple of vouchers.
One is a voucher for a meal or wine at the Josef Chromy restaurant and winery, just out of Launceston, and the other is an accommodation voucher (valid for over 300,000 places worldwide).
Am I paranoid to think they were/are trying to get ride of me?
One of the valid hotel - motels is one of our local venues, I'll show 'em that can't get rid of me that easy, a night or three in the Quest penthouse at Heidelberg will do nicely.
