And the kids came back!!

Who is this handsome man sitting in my chair?
Why, its the Group Marketing Manager for Waikato University - starting October.
Simon's trip back here did not get off to a very auspicious start as his passport had expired (Those 5 year passports are catching everyone out). However a rush job by the embassy and he was on his way, ostensibly to see his sick mother, but also to tie up lose ends with the position.

Jill was due to arrive the day that Simon left, but we couldn't have that! so we got her up here a day earlier, and Simon stayed a day later. Jill was late arriving so we had champagne and canapes and lots of excited chat.

The next day was brilliantly fine so we set off for a walk - part of my regime of keeping fit to fight the cancer. This is Tuesday - by Friday all that hair has gone.

Then coffee and cake at Muirs.

 WE stopped in at Eastland Eyecare to pick up Duncan for lunch and it just happened to transpire that Simon didn't have a pair of sunglasses. ("Thanks, Dad")
Very trendy!
 Toasted Brioche, banana and bacon for me and seafood soup for Simon and Duncan. Jill had a burger. The Works had just put on a new menu, and with the glorious sunshine a most enjoyable lunch.
