After a leisurely late rising and a morning Christmas church service at Leighmoor, we went out to Box Hill Cemetery. Here, after a bit of searching, we located our maternal grandmother's grave. It was only a few years ago I found out who she was and a little more of family history on mum's side.We spent a little time there,
As being in this area of Melbourne is not common for me, we had a look around. At around noon we came across a fish and chip shop which was open, and which had received rave reviews in the local press for the quality of its food. We had some lunch there and messaged some friends for Christmas at the same time. Then we went back to the motel, where Fran had a rest and I went on the Internet and updated information.
Just before 3, we went over to Vanda's place and saw an industrial kitchen in action as Vanda was catering for around 20. We chatted with the others as they arrived and met the family. By just after 7 all was ready and we sat down for dinner (photographs at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougmullett/sets/ ). By 11 the guests started to depart and we left not long after and back to the motel.
I managed to "shrink" the photos and then eventually upload them to Flickr and so they are there for the viewing. Tomorrow we expect to see Jason and Lisa and perhaps go out with them. Thursday is not yet planned!
