The faces might not be familiar to many of you, but Claire is the daughter of one of my mother's great friends, Sheila Powell, who was also my god mother, and Roger is her partner. Claire's eleven years younger than me and to be honest, I haven't had much to do with her or her brother Matthew over the years, but Claire's had a job in Bristol and we saw them briefly (with their parents) just before we left the UK. It was with some surprise that we discovered that they were coming through Coffs Harbour on a grand world tour and last week they came to stay with us for two delightful nights. We didn't do much apart from talk, eat and drink, but it was very pleasant!
