Au revoir

We recently had a family get-together to scatter Alastair's ashes. We started off with lunch at our place, followed by a trip to Wellington's south coast to scatter the ashes (Alastair used to enjoy diving around this area) and afternoon tea at Margaret's house turned into dinner and a very late night for two little girls (and their parents!).

Alastair's brother, Ian, finished off the rocking horse that Alastair had started making for Iris and Phoebe. They delivered "Mac" (aka Guppy) before lunch, much to Phoebe's delight.
The whole fandamily, including Jen, our surprise visitor from Melbourne. For those who are interested or who have bad eyesight;) they are: (standing from left) Josh, Jared, Ian, Linda, Brad, Jen, Sue, Trevor and Audrey and (seated from left) Alan, Margaret, Iris, Sarah and Phoebe.

We stopped at "Better" Bay, the bay next to Worser Bay to visit Josh's grandmother, Norma's, seat. As you can see from the photos, it was a pretty wild day and no one was game to swim where Norma and her fellow OBEs (over bloody eighties) did for so many years.
