Hello Again

Welcome to another edition of the SLF, I hope you all had a great Easter break. I know I certainly did. Good to be back into the swing of things though.

Mice and issue

I was talking to a farmer who farms about 40 km North of Yarrawonga yesterday and he was telling me he had sown some Canola and Lupins on the back of a good rain 3 weeks ago. All was looking good until last week when the mice moved in and destroyed the lot. The farmer said it was a real blow as the seed cost alone was substantial. It has put him off sowing other crops at this point in time.

Larry on Fire

In what was perfect weather for the first round of ANZ cup yesterday, 11 players journeyed to the “Royal” and it was Gary “Larry” Cameron who took the honours. Larry shot a very impressive 72, 13, 59. Larry only has to turn up for the next rounds of the ANZ and the cup is his. In second spot is the very erratic John "Bushranger" Guest with a 68 nett. Stroke next week then the second round of ANZ, make sure you get along

And the big move into town…….

Larry and his lovely partner Emma are making the big move from farm to town. They are renting the school house opposite the corner shop. Not sure what Emma or Larry are like in the kitchen but I do know that Larry will certainly miss his mother “Fayzee’s” cooking as she is know as one of the districts best. With these guys moving out of the “Roslyn” homestead it will give SLF “favorite” John “Jack” Cameron a little more space. On the downside though, “Jack” will lose a good drinking partner……

Quick trip

Callawadda’s most famous entrepreneur Sandy “The Know all” McGregor was up for the Easter weekend and took in both the Gift and the Stawell races whilst he was here. However he did ask himself what he was going to do on the Monday inbetween the Races and the Gift. So what do you do when you have squllions? You hire a plane, pick 6 of your mates up and head to Adelaide, jump in a stretch Hummer and head to Oakbank races for the day, then you jump back in the Hummer and head back again. Not bad if you get an invite…….
