Today the family came together for a picnic in the Royal Botanical Gardens, partially to celebrate Chris's birthday and partially to celebrate the completion of Louise's freeway sculpture. We chose a spot on the eucalyptus lawn next to a tree planted by Amelda Marcos (the wife of the former president of Indonesia) in 1972, the year Katherine, Callum and Rachael were born. This location was near the "volcano". Go to the following URL if you want to know more about the "volcano"

A lovely lunch and great to catch up with all the gang; Milena, Axel and Andreja are growing so quickly.
