Cold, cold June in the past 10 years

June 2006

June and it is said that May was the coldest recorded for 10 years.  Brrrr!

 On the 23rd Keegan Lodge gains his 20th birthday and his Nana Mona is due to celebrate with him and Dad Malcolm and brother Fraser whilst mother Val-Jane and sister Courtney fly off to warmer climes. Here we learn of the whanau birthdays:

 Christian Fenton 3rd  Rona Crawford 8th
 Daniel Snooks 9th  Kingston Brands 11th
 Darryn Fenton 11th  Teri Crawford 17th
 Keegan Lodge 23rd  Verban Elkington 22nd
 Karl Makiha 1st  Rhonda Fenton 12th

I have received an email from John Crawford, the grandson of Royce Adlam, daughter of Nana Fenton's eldest brother Edwin Arthur Adlam and his third wife, Clara Wallace.  John lives in Wanganui and put out a whakapapa request just on two years ago and I only found it yesterday.  He's quite excited about getting such a big boost to his search after patiently waiting for this long time.  I am wondering if he is a relative of Teri, daughter of Rona and Gerald.  Hey, Rona, is it likely?

Queen's Birthday
Weekend and the isobars are almost holding hands.  Last weekend, Sunday, I joined Richard and fellow scooter enthusiasts at the old Meola Tip with its refined name of MOTAT 2.  The keen scooterists who entertained us were hurtling around the grassed bunds and valleys racing their tiny little wheels.  Those desperate riders who were willing to race furious had to deal with the cleaning up.

Val and Courtney are within the pack the suitcase and off for the summer hols ... over in England. 

Hope you have a warm winter in NZ and those of our whanau overseas, send some warmth here.
