Lunch with family

I have chosen this water jug as a symbol of our time here in Melbourne with my brother Andrew and wife Joan. Water - for life, lemons - for abundance, and the jug - for sharing. It has been sitting on the table, thoughtfully replenished throughout our stay.

My aunt, uncle, cousin David and his business partner Di joined us for lunch today.

Fabulous food (thank you Joan) and lots of laughs.

Has been two years since I have seen my aunt and uncle - always known to us as simply Jan and Mike. My father died about five years ago now, so his only sibling is even more dear to us than ever.

On occasions it was a little bit like Dad was joining us at the table.
