It's that time of year again...the weather is cooling nicely and even the Cooktown Orchid is flowering...yay..
but a family funeral brought the family together again
the local Indian restaurant looked interesting on the way for a cuppa after the service
the cousins and spouses gathered for a photo
always reassuring to be surrounded by friends and family at such times...
Rest in peace Uncle Clif...98 years. A great role model for us all. Wonderful family doctor, mentor, listening ear, patient and meticulous. Former Ipswich resident, award winning athlete at school and university. Teacher for a few brief years, worker for the government health service during the war, who refused to let him join the air force, then medical student, much appreciated rural family doctor, member of the royal college of surgeons...and long standing suburban GP for many years in the city. Father grandfather, loved husband of Vi, uncle and brother. Thanks for everything you were for us.
