This morning started with a visit to the St Michael’s Catholic Cemetery to pay respects to the Grandfather and aunty Sophie as well as the boys’ uncle Hugh.
We have become fairly proficient with HongKong Buses and MTR but we were running a little late so we got a couple of taxis. Horror of horrors the graves were on the last row UP the hill which was a decent climb in the heat. The Lim cousins being conveniently located close by had visited earlier in the morning!
Gary hired a bike for a ride fix we all went different ways. Sheila and I took a taxi back to Pacific Place to look for a camera she wanted to buy. By sheer luck she found a place that said they could get it for her by this afternoon. The Osmo Pocket 3 is a one hand type of camera and apparently sold out everywhere. He was adamant that he could source it so Sheila paid him and we said we would be back at three.
On the way to the dinner we stopped off and he had the camera for her. He was good to his word. Sheila was very relieved!
We arrived at the Craigengower Cricket Club by 4.30 as expected and soon everybody arrived. It was so heartwarming to see the enthusiasm for the event from everyone. Mr Andrew Lee a family friend now in his nineties and still running his architecture firm was there with his 95 year old brother. I thought the carers were grand children!
Sophie gave her presentation at the Consulate as well outlining the importance of family histories to trade and business entrepreneurship.
Michael opened the evening and Gary outlined why the project started.
