We were very happy to have our grandson (OK so he's not really our grandson but we have this kooky intentional family thing happening...go with it) Jason spend the weekend with us. He arrived around 8pm Friday after flying into Coolangatta and came bearing a gift - not of this pineapple jam which we got from Lismore car boot market on the Sunday, but rather a bottle of champagne. We raised him well!
After Kyogle on Saturday morning we drove to Mavis's Kitchen at Uki for a delicious lunch and yet more bubbles. Jas enjoyed Mavis' as we thought he would and it was hot and the air was filled with that pre-storm feeling.
Which became more of a pre-storm look as we left there around 2pm. The storm broke while we were driving home and
Julia texted me to warn me that a hail storm (one of four we experienced from Friday through to Monday - see below) had just cut a swathe of destruction across his property and was heading down towards us. Luckily we missed the hail (we've just leased a new car and really didn't want it hail damaged the second week into having it) but the rain became so strong that Steve had to pull over at Mt Burrell about 20 minutes from our place until it had calmed down a bit.
And we'll finish with another of Jason's purchases at the car boot market...this very retro and camp set of Tupperwear cocktail 'glasses' each with a swizzle spoon with matching colour and a little shelf at the top to place olives or yummy bits of cake or slice. It was a hoot of a weekend and we look forward to Jas's next visit.
