A visit to friends at Worrim


Monday 27th October: 

Today saw us heading down to Worrim to see our good friends ex Kiwis from Auckland in fact they didn't live far from you Graeme in Mangere,I worked with Margaret at Soar Printing in Onehunga and have stayed in contact they lived in Waterlea Ave. They have purchased an old but goody caravan and when we went to see them at their home in Jimboomba they said where is a good place to go for a few days, we suggested Worrim and as I started to say before I got sidetracked they are there, so we went down to say hi, has a seniors lunch at the local Blue Poo Terry and Patricia's stomping ground when they are in residence at Worrim then across to a small cafe on the other side of the road for a coffee and chatted for an hour or so sitting under the umbrella as it was pretty dam hot but we were in the shade, the cafe is owned by a Maori lady and she has called it "Slice of Heaven" taken from Footrot Flats - see the black fern on the wall, gotta love that. From there it was time to head back to the camp and collect our chairs and gear before heading back up the bloody Bruce H/Way and home again to Little Mountain arriving back around 4.15, it was a race whether the storm would beat us or not Us 1 - Storm Nil.
