Last update we shared with you our evening at Kings Landing with our friends from this side of Fredericton so now we share with you the evening we spent with Jacqueline and John our friends from the other side of town.
Jacqueline was responsible for finding the house we now reside in and was outstandingly generous by accepting the numerous boxes we sent over from Australia ready for our arrival. Over the year we have shared many happy times with Jacqueline and John who is discharging from the Canadian Military after many years of service.
Following are a few photos of one of the funniest nights we have been to since our arrival. Jacqueline and John shouted us the evening out at a Tea House which has a dinner theatre. The playlet was loosely around the birth of Christ but Incorporated Canadian humour at its best. You will see from the faces of the players the fun they were having which was transferred to the audience resulting in peels of laughter.
The generosity provided to us from the friends we have made here has made living here so pleasant and we truly feel right at home in their lovely country.
Last week Debbie and Bev spent several hours over 2 days as volunteer gift wrappers in the Regent Mall with the money donated going to improving the diagnostic equipment at the hospital. It was a busy time but so much fun as the shoppers who availed themselves of this service were very chatty and full of good humour.
Will provide another update after our Christmas dinner of New Zealand leg of lamb, chicken stuffed with prunes and Camembert & wrapped in prosciutto and baked veggies followed by ice cream fruitcake. This is our Australian response to the traditional turkey dinner served over this way. It will obviously be accompanied by great aussie wines.
Have a great Christmas.
Ross, Bev & Murphy
