We have had a fabulous time – thank you to everyone who made this reunion so special.

Everyone who joined us for the Sharing: The locals Cally, Klaas, Beatrix, Sharon and Cornelia were joined in person by Trevor from Australia (on the way to his daughter’s wedding in Sweden), Barbara from Iona was on the loudspeaker phone, whilst Tiina, Sue, Margrit and Jess were on Zoom. The sharing was so immediate and heartfelt – it was hard to believe that 3 decades had passed and we were on 3 continents!

For dinner we had a delicious feast in the Seafood Café in Findhorn.

Sharon and her KP crew cooked brunch on Sunday, ably supported by Trevor and we had a lovely time meeting other folk from the community who knew us way back.

We then went to Logie and the Findhorn River.

On Monday we had a fantastic cooking shift with Stewart Friendship in Cluny – four of us had worked in the kitchen as members in 1988. Sadly we had to say good bye to Trevor before the shift was over.

On Tuesday evening we completed with a nice dinner in Cally’s caravan. She’d made a holiday of it and stayed on the Holiday Park for the 4 days. What fun!

So with full hearts, we give thanks for the many gifts of the last few days and the last three decades.

With love and gratitude
Cally, Klaas, Beatrix, Sharon and Cornelia
