This morning, we all attended Mass at Our Holy Redeemer's church (OHR), and we were once again joined by Mum's friend, Beatrice. Mum and Dad got married in OHR in 1966, with Beatrice as Mum's bridesmaid, and I was Christened there in 1968. It is a beautiful old church, with many stained-glass windows, statues and gothic-style architecture. After the service, we were standing near the front of the church, chatting and taking photos, when the organist started playing the Australian National Anthem for us on the pipe organ at the back of the church, which was nice.
This afternoon, we drove to Loch Lomond with Beatrice, and we were met there by our cousin, Eddie, and his partner, Gemma. We were hoping that it would snow while we were there, but it only rained. We had a lovely lunch at the Duck Bay Hotel, and we all wore bright pink in honour of our sister, Claire. Claire would have loved all of this. It was yet another surreal moment for me, being there after having sung about Loch Lomond for many years.
Wish you were here.
