Time had come to say good bye! At our last evening in
Benalla, Neil and Lois invited the whole German Team again for a farewell
party. After everyone was gone home, they gave us (some gifts, amongst these) a
chopping board (Schneidebrett) made of red gum tree. Anne looked at me and I
felt that our departure from 30 Thomas Street will get hard. We had become such
good friends, I could have never imagined when I first came to Benalla 4 weeks
ago.
From the beginning on, we have been part of their
family, as Neil used to say „our house is your house“. We really appreciate
this friendship and loved their constant participation at the world
championships which made it a really special time we wouldn't want to miss.
At our last breakfast together, we talked about the
possibility that they could make a journey to Germany (what we still highly
recommend).
When we left Benalla, we had teary eyes, but we both
hope to see Lois and Neil any time in our country.
