We started off the morning early with a cuppa and a very long phone call from the Brig's sister and brother in law in Sheffield - catching up on all kinds of things. Then we did some motoring around, over to Gail and Steve's and then onto Auntie Beryl's for a long chat there. Then as the sun was shining the lawn was mowed, looks so much tidier, then early evening, a little voice from Auckland called, Ethan can really carry on with a great conversation now, and after that Bren called, and we spent about another great hour on the phone. Just a pleasant day with barbequed moroccan chicken with mango and mint for lunch.

Today Auntie (86) and her 3 kids, Gail, Wayne and Ash, and their better halves, Sue, Ann and Steve fly out to Hong Kong this evening to start the wonderful trip she has "shouted" them. It start's with 2 days in Hong Kong at a lovely hotel, then they board their Cruise Ship, Azamara Quest (photo below) for a 14 day cruise to Singapore.
The route below - They have loads of plans for their time in Vietnam and Bangkok.
And after cruising into Singapore, they will spend another 3 days there, visiting the night zoo, and the girls have already booked "High Tea" at Raffles. It is Sue's birthday while they are away, and Wayne has just had his 65th, so they will be celebrating these while at sea - cabins are also rather nice with balcony and the like. We will miss them while they are away.
