HAPPY BIRTHDAY MURRAY

Greetings from Tininn Lodge - Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Culverden.20 minutes from Hanmer Springs and 90 minutes from Christchurch.

Murray had his 75th birthday on the 11th March - so we decided to have a few friends and relatives for food and drinks to celebrate.People came from Sydney,Twizel, Methven,Whakatane and of course Christchurch , Culverden and surronding districts.





This photo shows Vicky from Twizel Evan's partner,Sister in law Judy,and Daughter Judi.

Val about to make a speech


One of the highlights for Murray was having his friend Val Baker fly down from Whakatane - Matata to be exact and stay 5 days with us I don't think I have laughed so much for ages.

Val is a real character,played rugby for Suburbs in Christchurch,Canterbury Maoris and then went on to play for New Zealand Maoris and coach rugby over in England.

One of the amazing things that happened was that Val was asking Murray about a mate from his Rugby playing days Stewart Cron.

You'll never guess who came to stay in our Bed and Breakfast that night?

Val and Stewart hadn't seen each other for many years so it was great to see the look on their faces.It was just a complete coincidence.Amazing!!!

Next week I will write about some of the changes in Culverden.

All sorts of happenings:

Greetings from Tininn Lodge - Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Culverden.20 minutes from Hanmer Springs and 90 minutes from Christchurch.

There have been quite a few happenings in our lives over the past few weeks - so over the next few days I will attempt to write them up.

Firstly a big Congratulations to our niece Veronica and her partner Neil on their marriage on the 12/03/10.We understand that the family celebrations are to be held next year - so we look forward to that!!





This photo show Veronica and Neil with their two children Zac and Ashlee.








We have only met Neil a few times - but I don't think I've seen him smile so much.

It was great to receive the photos and the thing that struck me is how happy they look with each other.

Lots of Love and Hugs from Murray, Deirdre, Judi,Max, and family
