Family Ties
Michele, David, Margaret & Judy September 4
th – After a lovely sleep under flannelette sheets in an antique bed that made me feel like a kid as it was such a long way down to get out of it, we woke this morning and travelled into Maitland to visit David’s Aunt Margaret. Margaret, who will be 85 in a few days, told us many stories about Scotland and Australia, and introduced David to more of his family’s artistic heritage. Both Margaret and her husband, George created numerous pieces – we left with one from each of them. They will be treasured memories of this trip. In the evening we met more of David’s extended family and celebrated Margaret’s birthday. Such a long way to come, and such a short visit, and yet we are grateful for the family members we did meet and the time we were given.

It is so important to meet relatives and keep close ties with those that you meet. You are very lucky and Happy Birthday to Margaret, 85, is such a nice number.
