    Im definitely still up for it, whenever it happens...

    Yay, on two weeks holiday with kidlets on School Holidays - still, no having to be up at 5.00am and on the road at 6.00am for the long haul to the airport!

    I get to sleep in...bliss!

    I am still up for it as well, although my weeks have started getting busier recently again, so it will depend on the timing arrangements as they do not appear to open on the weekends.

    Yea... I though Mr WS was looking to work out a special arrangement re a group visit and making sure they were not put out..

    Whatever happened to this trip - hope youse didnt go and not tell me about it ...?
    WS has been doing it a bit tough I think...

    Like a few of us... Family and parents are starting to see less light each day......

    PM him as he is still interested in modding that roaster we got him for his wedding present...

    And I am still up for a visit - As I want to learn more about making use of my coffee trees.

    PS Di, keen for a  get together too, i reakon at AMs place, good sized yard for tables....we could have roasters, machines and grinders everywhere!!!! fire up the old french 2kg roaster AM?
    Forget the Roaster... Still under covers... But been looking at large gas BBQ jets to suit.... So a future project.

    Have a few tables and some cover in teh back yard..

    If still here; we could christen the KLIIB rebuild.... And spot the Em69AMB ;D

    I am happy for most weekends and Sundays are the preferred.

    If some one arranges... Just confirm a date or two with me and its done...

    AMB

    Sounds like it would be worth waiting until Aug/Sept and the processing season for an organised visit.

    Either way, Id be happy!

    Should sort out another get together though soon to keep us going, if thats the case, though.

    Anyone up for a get together at somewhere like Supreme Roasters at Yatala as an alternative or somewhere similar - your mates place down the road from you AM that youve been to a couple of times?

    Cheers

    Ok spoke to Maria from the plantation, she said that they would be delighted for us to head on down for a tour, i asked about weekends, unfortunately kees wasnt there, so she grabbed my number and she is going to get him to call me this afternoon or tomorrow as ultimately its up to him obviously, she did mention that processing of the beans wont generally occur until Aug/Sept and it continues right through to Xmas.

    What are peoples opinions as far as postponing it till processing time?

    Im happy to go whenever, the tour and knowledge Kees has is enough to keep me enthralled

    Will post when Kees calls me back......
    I am happy to postpone..

    The main reason is that trees grow beans and that is interesting...  Further more if you watch them very closely under the right conditions ya can see them grow  


    However to be there during picking / processing etc etc would add a whole new concept to it all.


    Besides I want to get my shoes off and crush some in a bucket or a vat.... Opps thats a different berry / cherry 

    Any way... Would be happy to delay for a while....
