Lucy and my sister-inlaw Lorraine

This is a rather glamorous picture of my niece Lucy and my brother Peter's wife Lorraine....taken at the Melbourne Cup (horse race) two years ago. We stayed at Pete and Lorraine's home over Christmas....very good location. A very short walk to a tram stop....trams run every 15 minutes or so to Melbourne and beyond. Melbourne is a very sophisticated city and is the fashion capital of Australia. I was looking at a real estate site earlier and discovered the neighborhood where I spent the first 25 years of my life is for multi millionaires nowadays....median house price...over $1.000.000.
Hampton was a rather laid back seaside suburb...now very chic and trendy. Lots of restaurants....beautiful shops...etc. Perry and I took a tram ride into Melbourne...then a train ride to Hampton when we were at Pete and Lorries. Took a nice walk around the main street and had a coffee with chocolate cake and people watched. The two addresses I lived at now have villa units on the lots. They were way too big for a single family home...we spent a lot of time cutting grass!
Spoke to Phil earlier today...the wedding will be towards the end of the year and will be a low key affair. He took Josh to work with him for the day as it is school vacation time in Victoria....child care arrangements fell apart and it was O.K. for him to take him there. Josh was having a great time. He is very happy that his mum and Phil are getting married...has started calling him dad.
Still can't find a nice picture of Josh and Sherrene.....
