Good to see you back John

Roger

Good to see you back John. I was wondering where you had got to.

Dean

Welcome back John.
Best news in a long time. I popped over a couple of weeks back but I just wasn't sure which was your house.
A door knock wasn't allowed...the wife was with me.

Phil

YES BEEN WONDERING WHY U HAVE BEEN MISSING........... MIKE

Good to have you back on deck,
Grahame

When I went through Campbelltown a few weeks ago I noticed a newish sign "John Ashburn" displayed on the old garage/shed beside the Black Duck hotel. Jogged my memory of the requests re your whereabouts.

Hi Ken,
I saw the same sign but I thought it was in Campbell's Creek.

Phil

Whoops, you could be right Phil. Another case of "the C.R.A.F.T." made me do it. Had a few cups lately; all the "far" type. (you work it out.)

Yes Ken, I am loving old (er) age.
Making a lot of 'distant' cups and have the occasional moment where I actually 'do' remember stuff.

Phil

Welcome back John. I dare say it's probably good to be back too!

Hello everyone,Campbelltown it is blink twice and you miss it.
Funny enough that sign has been there for about 10 years.
Unfortunately the'' rectologist'' would be seeking out that village to insert the enema tube.
I closed the doors on the place about 8 years ago when the ''Salvos'' refused my bid too run the place as Charity Motor and Engineering works.Even offered to paint a big Red shield on the door.
Them's the breaks in a small rural village where things get broke and you expected to perform miracles on some broken item and at any ''ungodly hour''.
So the enterprise crumbles and its been a long coming to ''beat a retreat'' back into urban civilisation.
The shed has been sold a few years ago and the purchaser agreed for me to keep occupying it until past few months.one wonders how you can accumulate and move lots of junk and valuables.

Thanks go out to all the concerned members and hope this year to catch up face to face with forum members.Its great to place a face to the forum identities.
Cheers for now John

Good to have you back John.

You'll have to come for a visit to the scraping classes later in the year, should be a good gathering of guys from all over plus some old faces making sure we are all well fed!

Cheers,

Yoohoo, Phil whiskers; where are you.

That has to be a first; I rolled over and surrendered when I was really right. I suppose a (partly) saving grace for you is that is was originally named "Joyces Creek".


Obviously she packed up & left a long while ago and took the creek water with her. Dry as a bone.

John; sounds like small town syndrome. (possibly related to little man syndrome). Same old names in the district as the original pioneers/settlers/fugitives from the law. Can't handle newcomers and the world ends at their back fence. I had the same thing happen when I originally transferred here. What ties do you have to the district and why are you here? The look on their faces used to be priceless when I asked them how long their families had lived locally and then informed them that they were the newcomers as my mothers family were original pioneers. Got to be good fun causing the gooses to pull their heads in and generally mucking up their day.

Talk about a craft moment!
You would reckon by now I would know better
