Sorry that we have been quiet this term but the last assignment has gone in and the last book read. Phewee as they say in Stromness. On the last day of the term we had the news that Les's mum had passed away, after a short time in hospital with a chest infection. We knew she was failing but I had spoken to her on Mothers day and she was very chirpy. Both the boys has visited her in the nursing home and she was greatly entertained by Donald's long hair. Andrew was also able to get to see her in hospital the day before she died. We got the last two seats on the plane out of Auckland the next day and arrived in Bridge of Allen on Sunday. The funeral is on Thursday and we look forward to seeing everybody there. We fly back out on Sunday and have been able to get seats on the same plane as Donald so we can ensure he clears immigration. He has had his hair cut in honour of the funeral.

Thanx Mark. We are pleased that the day went so well, and was a celebration of a life and a hope realised. We were also happy to get back here with Donald before the ash went up.
