Eva arranged to visit us in Portland with Perry during the 4th week of September and school holidays. They arrived by train and coach at Narrawong on Tuesday 23rd evening and were picked up by Peter in his car. We decided a good place to begin was a coffee at Bridgewater Bay. It was a beautiful day and the beach was splendid. A plan for Eva to cook a vegetarian meal that evening culminated in sampling Lentil Dahl and Bean Ratatoulle that evening which was simply delicious.

Peter was determined to take Eva on a cart ride so that evening we planned to head off from The Sawpit and on our return we would have lunch at this glorious spot. I saddled up my trusty pony, Beauty and led the way on a couple of lovely tracks radiating out from the picnic area.Laden with alcohol and no other supplies,the three set off in the cart pulled by a very honest Mickey । The reins were soon given to Perry, who, though inexperienced, managed driving the pony most of the way while the revellers became 'slightly' inebriated. On return to camp, a fire was lit and a lovely lunch was prepared amid bird whistles of the bush.It was a glorious day weatherwise and speaking for Peter and I, a fabulous day of cameraderie.

Eva had planned to return to Queensland on Saturday morning so Peter drove them back to Melbourne on Friday afternoon.
