Less than 1 week to departure means this is a working weekend. Denise has a very long “Honey Do” list for Doug. And Doug has work commitments that need to be addressed before the last 3 work days next week.
Family reunion things for the trip are getting really interesting. Doug’s oldest brother, Ken, is able to make the family reunion planned in Opononi, New Zealand. He’ll be flying in from the Philippines where he now lives. The last time all the brothers – Peter, Doug & Ken – were together was January 1995 in Western Australia.
Rose (Jnr) and Ruth have never met Ken. And, although Rose has met Peter, she was a 2 year old at the time and remembers very little. The reunion is planned over the week of Christmas. We are planning to go to the local Hotel for Xmas Lunch. We will have our meal in, or near, the “Bryers Room” – such is the long heritage of the Bryers family in the Hokianga, where Opononi is a small village in the area.
