Journal. John and Edith. Caitlin and St. John's.

John and Edith returned to stay with us last Thursday again before returning home to the UK on this coming Tuesday. We again enjoyed their company.

Yesterday, Saturday we went over to Thames (the NZ one) taking J and E with us. We went to see our grand-daughter Caitin enrolled as a cadet into the order of St. John's Ambulance Service along with 65 other inductee's with an age range from 8 to 18 years from the surrounding towns and country areas. Most were teenagers. All were dressed in uniform and they looked a picture.

We enjoyed the old world ceremony and a pleasant finger food meal afterwards. The day was fine and the sun shone.

Afterwards J and E left us seperately and were returning to spend the rest of their time with Geoff and Anna in Waiuku. Anna will see them onto the LA flight on Tuesday where they will spend 2 days before proceeding home.
