Our Australian Family

Today is my birthday so I take the liberty to go a little bit private. I would like to boast of my Australian Family.

We have flown in Sydney to support, mainly spirititually, my cousin and friend since my childhood up to now - Elisabeth. She 

came here because her grandson Eliott appeared in the world.

Marta, Ela's daughter has been away from Poland for sometime now, and after London she chose Australia for her place to live. 

Here she met Phillip, her partner and Eliott's father.

We spent the New Year's Day at Phillip's family home, with his parents, sisters and their families.

You can figure it out that anybody living in Australia has come here from somewhere else or so did his/her family. Phillip's parents, Patrick and Colleen were born in India in mixed English-Indian families and over 40 years ago immigrated  to Australia.

The New Year's party ment abundance of food and drink. The dishes were mainly Indian, because I had inadvertendly mentioned  that I loved Indian cooking.

The Lady of the House spent the whole day before the party preparindg a multi-dish lunch. 

The cordiality on their part was extraordinary and we hope that we will be able to do the same when Patrick and Colleen come 

to Europe in September this year.
