After a dash across Melbourne and to check in with barely minutes to
spare I have a short flight up to Newcastle to stay with mum’s cousin Hilary.
Hilary is really wonderful and it is amazing to spend time to her
one-to-one. Of the handful of times I have met her before has been as part of a
family gathering. It is lovely to hear her stories and tell her about my recent
adventures. When her daughter Tanya
comes over one evening I am really struck by the strong family resemblance
between them both and my mum and grandmother.
Hilary has an appointment in East Maintland so I tag along for the ride,
picking up a walking tour guide on the way.
