Holidays galore: Time with family friends

Mum, Dad, and I made the most of our time together over the next 10 days. Obviously (Margaux and) I spent time with other friends and on other outings, but we devoted a lot of our attention on stoking home fires.

In the photos below, you'll find evidence of feeding, eating, playing with Harvey, playing the paddling pool, going for walks, and a photo of Mum in her black-and-white dress feeding Margaux at a lunch hosted by Aunty Catty.


There we met lots of relative relatives (second cousins, first cousins once removed etc.) and dined on finger sandwiches and trifle. It was a very lovely way to spend an afternoon - which we concluded by driving around the leafy green suburbs and back to Carmel in time for an evening barbeque.

We ate that night at Ric and Joce Sugars', along with Judy and Bob Jackson, and Allison Hepburn.
It's amazing to be with people who were such staple adults in your life as a kid and to hear your parents saying what they really think... and you not quite knowing if you now fit into the role of a kid or an adult! It's hard to explain so I'll leave it be.

Margaux was absolutely exemplary in behavior, falling asleep during the meal and managing to wake up just after we left - but staying awake well into the night!
