Yesterday, we drove to the Millbrook Resort near Queenstown with Avis and her mother, Dot, to go to see Haley Westernra (a world famous NZ singer), Dave Dobbin (a well-known NZ singer) and Fiona Pears (a violinist – somewhat after the fashion of Vanessa-Mae). The setting was al fresco and the weather uncertain at first, but, although quite chilly, the sun shone and we all had a great time. Before the concert, David was taken for a hair-raising ride on Matt’s jet boat; I declined because it was too cold on the water. (Note to self: I must stop being such a wimp!)
