Melbourne-a family reunion

Overnight flight with Quantas was delayed by a couple of hours- the first inefficiency we have met in Japan! But it meant that those in Melbourne had a few more hours kippage and we arrived to be picked up by Kerry soon to be whisked across Melbourne and out for a yummy brunch with Ewen and Antonia, who'd flown across from NZ for the weekend. How very exciting to all be together- and maybe the only time for quite a while to come....😔
A wander around the streets and parks of Melbourne dodging showers- and the coldest first day of summer for 40 yrs!!
So, keen to meet Kerry's boyf James, we arranged an early rendezvous at 5 and put him through The Randfield Test- no colander of death , just vast amounts of beer and wine- which he ably matched. Well done ,James- and welcome!!
Not surprisingly the next day was a bit of a write off with hangovers dictating a slow pace. But lovely to wander Kerry's Fitzroy.Read more
