Banquet for our 55th Wedding Anniversary

On Sunday, 18th December 2011, we had the banquet for our 55th wedding anniversary. Two daughters and five children of one of the daughters joined us at the restaurant. Three more people, who originally wanted to come, could not make it because they had to work on this Sunday before Christmas. The restaurant was Lebanese. It is situated close to the Parramatta River in Sydney. We took photos outside the restaurant near the river and also inside where all the delicious food was served.

The camera was set onto the wrong year. It should of course say 2011, not 2010.

Apollo Bay 26th Dec. 2011 to 2nd Jan.2012

We were six at Apollo Bay: Martin, Kristen, Lauren, Kristen’s Mum as well as Peter and I. Kristen’s dog Darcy was also with us. In the previous blog is a picture of Martin, Kristen and Lauren, which Peter took just before they all went off on a seal watching tour. More pictures I’ll try to include at a later date.

Apollo Bay turned out to be a marvellous holiday place. But all good things have to end. So now we’re back home again and getting used to the daily routine. We have good memories of seeing Martin’s daughters as well as Martin’s son with his family.

Kristen’s Mum, Margarete, who turns 80 this year, was often great company for me. It was a thrill for me, to have a fair dinkum Australian to talk to and compare memories of the distant past.

Peter made hundreds of pictures during the holiday. I hope to be able to publish some of them soon.
