My wife's mother celebrated her 80th birthday prematurely on the weekend.
It was premature because her birthday is in fact on November 15. However a number of the family and friends would not be around the, This included my wife who will be visiting South America with a friend at that time.
It was a very moving occasion. The family is very close. Even the grandchildren of which there are seven from three families including mine are close. They all act like brothers and sisters!
The obvious love and affection that was here in spades made it a truly remarkable event.
I could not help thinking if only those on the NO side of the same sex marriage could highlight this stuff then it would show up the yes side for the charade it is!
Even though age is creeping up on her She and her former husband have been good for Blayney. Her husband was the local GP and I can remember many a time he would get up at say 2 a.m. to go to Blayney hospital for an emergency! She has done a lot of community work.
She now just concentrates on the Baptist church there now. It bought a pub which discontinued. The refurbishment is a wonder. It can easily sit over 100 people and now they can sit and enjoy talking to one another in chairs after the service is over. They even inherited a coffee machine!
It proved the perfect place to celebrate My wife's mother birthday!!
Blayney is a very pleasant place. I had to wear a jumper on the weekend but that is usual at this time of year. There was only two shop fronts up for lease showing the town is pretty healthy at present. Lots of places to get a coffee. I chose the Bakery and also got a fantastic blueberry muffin!
It also has one of the best places to buy fish and chips. The boys and I always try to but it coming here!
One unique feature here is the local oval still has the capacity to produce turf wickets for cricket even though the town does not have a term in the Bathurst turf competition! If this only occurred in Sydney
