Sandemans Down-Under

Dugald is my oldest friend. We met at the age of four at kindergarten, and used to stay with each other's families from time to time. We both went to Sherborne School, both were in the sailing club, and both did flying scholarships.


I have stayed with him and his wife Wendy when visiting Britain.



Finally, after many years of encouragement, Dugald, Wendy, their son John, and John's husband MacKenzie came for a visit to Australia.

We had a great time, with a week together on the Gold Coast, before they travelled to Sydney and Melbourne. Then George and I drove to Sydney, and picked up Dugald and Wendy for a road trip up the coast.
