Cousins reunite


I’m currently in Melbourne for the annual Gift Fair we exhibit at every year. This year we’ve rented a massive four-bedroom, three bathroom house overlooking the Maribyrnong River. We’ve been waking up to beautiful views of the neighbouring golf course and river.

Last night I took time out to catch up with my cousin, Kevin Parker, and his lovely wife, Ali, in Brunswick. Kevin and Ali have been living with their daughters in Melbourne for years. However, it’s taken until now for us to finally meet up. This was also my first time meeting Ali. Sadly, our Australian-based reunion will be short lived. They’re relocating back to New Zealand next month. 

We enjoyed a wonderful evening. Lots of laughs and some superb food. It’s a shame it’s taken so long to reconnect.
