2 nights in Carcoar visiting Tina

A lovely time with Tina, Dom and Ruth.  A bit sad at times too as Tina is going into frail care. The highlight was the dips in Ruth's wonderful plunge pool and a shiatsu lesson with Dom.

Art inspired by my photo

Ruth, Tina's daughter, is a wonderful artist. She did this painting of icebergs using one of my photos from Antarctic as inspiration. I love it.

Tina's 90th birthday in Carcour

Tina’s party was very special indeed. It was held at Shalom, an old Catholic convent, under a gorgeous blossom tree. Such a perfect venue. Dom and Ruth organised some live music, including a cellist,  which was absolutely sublime. Tina was so moved by the cellist playing Bach as she walked in that she was moved to tears (Tina was an avid cello player earlier in her life).  All the people at the party were beautiful. There was so much love and it was so wonderful to share this experience. 

Unfortunately Shushann and Marion & Alun weren’t there due to their being unwell but Marion sent Tina a wonderful poem which you can read below.

Carcoar

Always lovely to visit Tina in Carcoar. It's very peaceful there and we had some delicious meals. Dom was there too who I love.

I love these photos of my friend, Dom

 They were taken by a Chinese master photographer. Dom is Tina's son. He is an actor and an advanced martial arts practitioner.

Celebrating Tina's 89th birthday in Carcoar

I went to Carcoar by train to celebrate Tina's 89th birthday with her and the family (Dom, Ruth, Gypsy and Mallee). It was very special.  Tina is a very dear friend.
