I did my seachange at about the same time the Australian television program ran on the ABC - in fact, I had bought "Riverbend" a few years before in 1993. Like Laura Gibosn, I had also suffered from professional burn-out but unlike her no job was waiting for me at the Bay and I took up grass-cutting and reading and grass-cutting and reading and grass-cutting and reading and more reading.
While I was looking for more books at Vinnies to feed my reading habit, I also discovered the full boxset of the first three series containing thirty-nine episodes. Some thirty-three hours of uninterrupted comedy bliss!
