We lived in NSW for 7 years and they constantly poked fun at my "QLDerisms" ... like port, togs and ending senctences with "hey" ... though that may be a north QLD thing I got from my Grandma! :0) I've always gone with your explanation of port and reckon we're more upper-crust than those 'suitcase' people! Tee! Hee! Hee! Happy stitching! Bear Hugs!

I'm so glad you & hubby were not physically hurt. I admit I am one of the people that has said to a Qlder "A what" when they mentioned a port. I was born in NZ & came here at 20 so had lots of Aussie & WA lingo to learn. Now I have been an Aussie longer than a Kiwi & I go back to NZ and can't understand half the conversation. It does make me laugh. I hope things continue to get sorted out quickly for you both.

As to calling suitcases ports i'm a born & bred New South Welshperson & i always took a port to school & i still call them ports despite now living in Qld.

Yes, your Guardian Angels were with you for sure, it is so good to know you weren't injured. :)<br />Being a Queenslander ( we left when I was 10, but my relatives still live there), I still call a " port a port" lol, I also remember that the cocktail frankfurts here, were called cheerios, and devon had a different name - luncheon sausage, perhaps?<br />Your new designs look gorgeous as usual, I managed to get some Rue Saint Germain in a "twice the charm" pack on ebay. Musn't start the BOM until I finish handquilting my Xmas quilt- (handpieced about 4 years ago- naughty me) All good wishes to you and your DH.

You have wonderful friends and family to take care of you. Your projects look charming, Val, can't wait to see them in print! Too funny about the "port" - I immediately thought of a usb port for the computer!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.com
