We visit godmother Meg ...







Noel is very fortunate to have been given two godmothers. They are both wonderful women and although we are not related to either of them they have always been very much part of our extended family. Meg lives in a beautiful part of Victoria at Avonsleigh and she has a beautiful garden. We visited her for lunch during a few days spent in Melbourne.

A surprise birthday treat








During our weekend visit to Hobart, we stayed with friends at Lindisarne. Kevin and Ann Stark have been our close friends for many years and we love spending time with them. They have two delightful daughters, Eleanore and Clare. They invited us to share the evening meal with them. They had also invited Erica and John Davidson and their youngest daughter Rossi. A surprise guest was Salman Stevenson who had spent a year at the Baha'i world Cenre in Haifa during our time there. It was my 65th birthday during the week so they very kindly gave me gifts of delicious chocolate and coffee. As well they produced a special rich chocolate birthday cake with candles. It was a very happy evening.

Edie is 3










We travelled to Hobart for the weekend to spend time with Toby, Nicole, Dorian and Hespa. Nicole's parents, Barbara and David were also visiting from South Australia. The special event was a birthday BBQ for Edie's third birthday. Raphael, Jessica and Caitlin also travelled down from Launceston for the day to help Edie celebrate her special day.
