Aunty Karmun’s Visit (Nov 22)

After the crazy pandemic, finally Aunty Karmun visited the girlies.  Eva was a constant virtual buddy during the various lockdowns we had but when they laid eyes on each other, they just melted into each others arms!  Too sweet!!!

Here are some of the hundreds of pixs we took over the week together.

In no particular order, it was about bonding, checking out restaurants, spending time together and we managed to spend a nite down the Peninsula.

Julie joined us and it was also good for me to finally meet her.  We have been mutual (KMs friend from Sydney) cyber friends for a number of years too!

A fun filled trip was had by one and all and all too soon it came to an end!

It has really been good to see KM again. Julie drove off in the sunset n KM flew back to Sydney the next day.

Until we meet again ladies.. stay safe!
