Friday 1st June 1990
We left at about 9 AM for what turned out to be a long day in the car. We left in a good mood, however, as all the people with whom we spoke (two retired couples and the managers) said how good they thought our children were. The day was overcast, making our trip south pleasant and cool. First stop was at Ingham where the kids played in a park that divides the length of the main street in two. As I stood munching on a chocolate chip biscuit, Mari, Jackie and David drove past in the yellow Combi whose number plate I think was age 10 in…. I jumped up and down frantically, but Mari drove on oblivious!
