Day 3.253: In tent - to leave

Apart from our walk at Wolf Creek Falls, Saturday took us to a leaving party for two of my colleagues (well technically one is already a former-colleague having retired a few weeks ago). They are returning to the UK after just over three years here.

When I first received the invitation to this party, I thought we would already have left by now. I think it's safe to say that if we had we wouldn't have arranged anything like as good a leaving do as they did. The tent was in their yard beside the house - in fact it was such a glorious day that we could have managed without it, but it was very congenial and the party spilled outside into the warm evening as the sun went down which was nice too.

Exile #3 found that it was a good place to enlarge her latest collection - beer bottle caps, and her younger siblings ran around and charmed at least as many as they annoyed I think. There were some former colleagues to catch up with and other-halves to meet and/or renew acquaintances with - all rather good. When we could finally stretch the children's day no further, we left wishing we could stay longer - just as it should be.
