After the memorial service on Friday, our family traveled to where I'm living in one of Estelle and Steve's holiday units. The owner of the Cave Inn phoned me last week and offered the cave as accommodation for our younger son, Angus, his wife Amanda and their three children.
We all congregated there to have a final cup of tea and get together.
It was incredibly hot and I found two pairs of baggy swimshorts; one for my brother-in-law Lourie and one for my son, John.
Coffee and cake tastes good while you're cooling off!
