EIGHT YEARS
When we were in Mackay, Aaron and Janet celebrated their wedding anniversary. Aaron commissioned this painting by a friend in their church. The flowers are gerberas which Janet carried in her bouquet.

TRAVELLING NORTH
David and I are heading to Mackay tomorrow to visit our son Aaron, his wife Janet and their two children Sinead and Finn. We'll be away until the end of next week. We don't often get to see each other so when we do we notice huge changes in the children. Last time we visited, wee Finn wasn't walking - this time he will be. Isn't this photograph something else? It's taken on one of the islands nearby and Janet is playing the Irish harp (for a wedding). Not sure if it's the harp Aaron made for her!
