Family

On Friday, 7th November my Grandad died. He was 96 years old and there was enough warning for my Dad, Dad's sisters, and others to have time with him to say good bye.

I flew up to Sydney, with Mum, for the funeral, which was on Wednesday. All my cousins on Dad's side were there. Apart from Kathy (who visited me last month in Chiang Mai) I hadn't seen any of my cousins for nearly 2 years, so it was quite a wonderful reunion day for me.

Here are some of us at the lunch following the funeral. (Many thanks to Anna for taking such great photos.):
