To Uncle Roger, Murray and Joss, and all the wider family... acknowledging Auntie Nettie's passing. I remember the visits, farm work with scones, and many Christmas and boxing day gatherings. Happy times. To Nettie, thanks for forgiving me for hitting the cricket ball through the stained-glass window, but ... Murray was bowling! Love to all at this time. Chris Doak (Nephew)Chris Doak
