At Dawn and Dennis

Le jour où j’avais rencontre aux Vanuatu , Nicky et Paul Collins, j’avais aussi rencontre Dawn et Dennis Grant en voyage pour leurs noces d'argent , qui habitent sur la route entre Taupo et Auckland , a Tokoroa. Je m'y suis arrêtée pour les saluer . De salut en salut j’ai été conviée a y rester pour le diner et le coucher . Nouvelle expérience, familiale cette fois, car il y avait là le benjamin Ricky 14 ans, et le cadet Mickael est aussi venu avec sa jeune fiançée Cherryl passer la soirée. La maison est ouverte et les voisins n’hésitent pas à venir partage le pack de bière du vendredi soir aussi l’ambiance était -elle fort sympathique. Et différente. Le lendemain Dawn et moi excitees comme deux gamines de la campagne descendues a la ville, passions une heure a fouiller les frippes dans un magsin d'archi soldes . C'est ainsi que le jean tant cherche fut trouve et emporte pour 2 euros !

When I met Paul and Nicky Collins in Vanuatu
I met as well Dawn and Dennis Grant living in Tokorua ; they were celebrating over there their silver anniversary ; As I was passing there on my way from Taupo to Auckland I stopped for an hello and end up staying for the night . It was a lovely experience to be with a family as Ricky 14 is still at home and Michael came with Cherryl, his young sweet and lovely fiancée( only 17) to spend the evening with us , even so they had just been moving house that very same day . He took the time to show me the video of his elastic jump . We were all thrilled and I screemed !!!Later, some neighbours came as well to share some of the Friday’s night beers! it was great to feel part of them all .
I enjoyed my stay very much and after a great long sleep in a cosy bed , Dawn and I, just as 2 country girls coming for once to town, rushed to the second hand shop to look for a jean I found! We had a lovely time together in the little Maori town and once more I realise how precious it is to have opportunities to share a bit of the daily life with people from very different backgrounds. I always learn a lot and always witness the basic goodness of everyone I attract and meet. Thank you to all of them for making my day!!!!
