With cross roads on my mind, here is a funny story that happened recently.
Our home is a bit difficult to find for a first time visitor as we live up a gravel road in bush land. A new road has also been constructed down by the creek so we now need to add this road to our list of directions. The other day I received a phone call from friends asking " We are at the cross roads do we turn left or go up Whisky Road?" Well, I am thinking where on earth is Whisky Road? I didn't know where they were, what a confusion! So I sent out a search party, they were soon found just down the hill near a newly erected road sign (that the council had put up since I had been out) - Whisky Road!
After apologies from me and the explanation that I hadn't been on the whisky we had a good laugh.
The creek is called Distillery Creek, I wonder if years ago there was a whisky distillery built close by.

Thanks Alice, Shelly Beauch started as my internet name just for fun as a shortened version of Michele Beauchamp (pronounced Beecham) so either Shelly or Michele is absolutely fine.
DeleteI always love visiting your blog! Your tiles and zias are a huge source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your intersection story ... I have one for you. My sister was in the passenger seat and I was at a K-shaped intersection. I couldn't see one road and asked if it was safe. She looked and said go then I nearly hit a car coming from that road. When I asked her why she said go she said, "look at it; that's a grey car. I'm color blind and can't see grey!" eight years later and I'm still laughing at that one!
Oh that is funny, thank you for sharing!
DeleteLove the designs Michele. What a great way to get your creations.....from real life.
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise, and haven't we been through a few crossroads together!
