Sleepy Friday afternoon.
I have been sifting and sorting through the photo collections of Betty and Ken over the last few weeks. With Tuross still in our minds, and the recognition of a previous generation that started a tradition at Dunbogan, this shot captures some of the major players of that era, in flight. Eileen, Val, Betty and Betty, with I expect Norma at the piano, just a typical afternoon after a sherry or two. Or maybe the cards on the piano suggest a birthday.
Mum continues her Lazarus impersonation, joyous to see you, occasionally in the moment, often asking if I've been out to Carrington Hall recently '…cause I'm just concerned about Nanny' (her grandmother). Dad has calmed as Dr Tony increases his prosac dosage, continues his daily swims, a bit doddery on the pins, aghast at Australian cricket. All is steady, all is good.

More to come!

Like! Kel and I loved seeing Bet on our way down to Tuross! (..and Ken - He was in good form)

Thanks, Brendan. Very nice to read your mum is stable and happy and your dad is also happy (but slightly less stable on his wonky legs). It was terrific to see so many Seages at Turoff Heads - even if you did keep me awake. I went out to the source of the noise one night at 2.30am to remonstrate and was confronted by three of my brothers and you - not the kids I'd been expecting! It was a great week.
Great pic, Brendan.
May we all age as gracefully as the dames in our family!
