I’ve just had a great time – Fay and I have had a great time in Perth and Adelaide. In Perth we caught up with Cynthia (Richardson) Springvloed. We had a nourishing barbie in Kings Park. Great to catch up with Cyn (pictured above) and her man Kommer (good bloke). A trip to Perth without seeing our Cyn wouldn’t be the same.
When we returned to Adelaide, we caught up with Di (Edwards) Groenewegen (harder to photograph) and Merv (and Helen) Smith. Di has lived in Adelaide for over 20 years. The Smiths (who live in Sydney) were just doing the grey nomad thing. Interestingly enough Merv was in the same section as Cyn.
All five folk I mentioned (Cyn, Kommer, Di, Merv, Helen) looked fabulous and it was really good to catch up with them even if it was for just a short time.
It’s a fair way over to the west and because of that we don’t expect to see Cyn or Di over east any time soon. For example, all Di’s rels now live in Adelaide. I can remember fondly many times at 435 Condamine St Manly with Di and her brother and her parents. Di’s Mum June lives with Di in a neat suburb near the water.
Damn! I forgot to check whether Merv and Helen were gonna be at Marion’s gathering on July 14/15. No, I think we did discuss it – and I think they’re gonna be there. Are you coming? Marion Giddy would love to hear from you.

Heard there could be quite a few at Marion's place. I'd better give her a yell to let her know I'm coming and find out arrangements.
Thanks for your email, Graham. It is nice to be still kept in touch. Just one small thing. My first name is spelt Graham. The proper Scottish way. Ask jock Grant on the snail mail.
NUTRITIOUS BARBECUE aka KEASTS BREAK PERTH DROUGHT!!
King's Park, Perth, recently - where we met Fay and Grahame - on arrival, easily spotted Fay in red pedal pushers as prewarned :) Full marks to Fay for spotting, during our hamburger meal, some sort of gravy coming out of the fountain :) Rain interruption (hooray for Perth) meant F&G's dessert, a truly delicious pie, later sliced with mathematical sensitivity by Grahame :) was transferred to the home of Wendy, friend of F&G. Very nice occasion. Great catching up.
