Road trip time! Leaving New Year's Eve, Paulie and Stephen deliver Olivia's replacement car to her in Adelaide. Road trip time! Leaving New Year's Eve, Paulie and Stephen deliver Olivia's replacement car to her in Adelaide. Back in Brisbane whilst life went on for the team in Adelaide, Ballina and Oxford, it was apparent that in the Byron Bay hinterland, Stephen's brother Jonathan's health was deteriorating quickly.
Stephen's sister-in-law BĂ©atrice had a demanding, sad, and tough January caring for Jonathan. But he lost his battle after family and friends said farewell to him. Towards the end of the month which included travel, sailing and our France-based pal Michael's stay, there was another emotional blow! Paulie's brother Jim died suddenly at home in Auckland. A roller-coaster month.
After a false start, Jon Atherton's wake was held on the 27th. We had the venue to ourselves. During the rest of the month the crew kept busy in Adelaide, Oxford, Melbourne, Northern New South Wales, Portugal and points in between.
An interesting month where most of the family either catch COVID or recover from it. But also non-isolated action - Olivia camping it up and paddling around Adelaide, Nick heading to Brisbane away from the floods in northern NSW, foxes in Oxford and Stephen medivac-ed from Sydney care of his guardian angel.
The Oxford lads start the month in California, Paulie has a few nights in hospital, Olivia does her dive course and continues exploring her new turf in South Australia and Nick decides to settle into a flat with others. Workshop, work travel and May moves on.
As COVID eases up, international travel does too (but still with various restrictions) and the guys head to New Zealand for work and play. James and Keno get to Germany to visit family, Nick has dramas, and Olivia works in one of the smaller hospitals in Adelaide. Things are on the move
The Oxford lads visit family and Germany and fit in a quick trip to Paris. Olivia and James head to Western Australia and host a weekend visit from Stephen and Paulie. Nick has some challenges , and work takes Stephen to the ACT and Victoria. Work and play.
James's birthday in New Forest, Melbourne travel, Making whoopie in Woolgoolga, and Olivia drops in from Adelaide. Just some of the happenings in August
An interesting month with two highlights. Olivia has a holiday in the Northern Territory, and an exciting renovation for the family property in France. Do see....
A busy month with the Oxford lads arriving for Grandpa Lawrie's funeral, trip to Adelaide and Sydney. Nick getting into trouble, and Olivia travelling about.
The month included Pauline's birthday, a weekend in the Barossa for the Ladies Turnbull & Stephen as well as a work trip there for Paulie. Stephen had work in Melbourne and Canberra and the rest of the crew both worked and played
Olivia's Birthday on the 7th kicks off the journey towards the festive season. Work travel slows down with only a Sydney conference for Stephen. Festivities gain pace when Pal Michael flies in from France and Olivia from Adelaide. Keno and James head for the continent. Nick is unable to join us.
