After a quick 5 km walk and breakfast, it was time to pick up Rob and Tinkie’s 50th Wedding Anniversary present/surprise. Between the three of us kids, we had paid for R&T’s old-time family friend and farming neighbour, Patricia, to fly from Zimbabwe to be with us for the function. So, she flew from Harare to Johannesburg to Doha to Sydney to Canberra, was met at the Cbr airport by Kevin and Dale and driven to Braidwood by Kevin. Braidwood is halfway between Cbr and Batemans Bay, and we met them there and drove her home.
By the time we got home, our other friends, Jenny and Nigel had also arrived. As R&T had no idea Pat was coming, we had to sneak her down the veranda to the back deck. Greg was filming the event and Tinkie was quite confused by this, but when she saw Pat, she almost had a coronary she was so excited. It was quite an emotional time. By this time Pat had been travelling for almost two days and how she kept her eyes open we’ll never know. Lunch was had and then an LLD.
The rest of the day was spent catching up with Pat. Dinner was at our favourite Indian restaurant that has moved to a waterfront setting and it was quite speccy. Food was good as was the company; R&T, Jen & Nige and Pat.
