Holiday in Australia, February & March 2008. One of the best holidays in my life was in Melbourne Australia with old friends Mike, Pat and Jean. They emigrated to Oz about 33 years ago and they told me I could come and stay with them. Now retired with the time I took them up on their offer. I stayed at Mike and Pat's for 6 weeks and they did me proud by arranging many trips to see faces and places. Good on ya.
After a gruelling 26 hour journey I was picked up at the airport by my friends and treated to a champagne reception. Above from left to right, Pat, Mike, Peter (Jean's husband), Jean and yours truly.
One day I walked the 8 miles from Mike and Pat's home to Jean and Peter's home through Listerfield park, a huge forest of Gum trees. On the way I was lucky enough to see a family of kangaroos, one of which was a mum with a little joey in her pouch. After 50 years working for someone else, I now work for myself and trade under the name of "Branor Systems" Check out my work website at www.branor.co.uk Smiling Emily at 3 years old
Great to see little Emily (3rd Grandchild) on her 3rd Birthday in August. Mum and Dad, Amanda and Kerry gave a great party. Second childhood, I've caught trains again After 53 years without a train set I've finally caught the bug again but this time dropping gauge from OO to N gauge. Now modelling a 6 by 2 foot layout in my study. This is very sad and I'm taking counselling but apparently there is no cure. Once bitten by the bug it reappears at random intervals.
