Family BBQ 28th September 2013

We celebrated Dad's 88th birthday Friday night at the Kempton Hotel, lovely old pub with good old fashioned meals.  Saturday Christine organised a family BBQ lot's of fun with all the children.  Then to the Wrest Point Casino for dinner & of course just a little gamble before falling into bed around midnight!! Today (Sunday) we went to the Sorell Markets, Cambridge, Glenorchy, now home feeling rather tired!  Now for some packing ready for my flight home tomorrow.
