the NSW/Victoria border at their home where they have Ultra lite flying planes.

It's been an absolutely glorious Easter Sunday here and it was just beautiful out on the Belmont Golf course. We were given permission to scatter Dad's ashes today at 4.15 - as this was the time most suited - most of the golfers had finished their play for the day.

We got on 3 electric golf carts and trundled off to the 11th tee. When we arrived there I read from the Australian Prayer book the Interment of Ashes and then each one of us proceeded to scatter Dad's ashes. He used to lean against this post and look out to sea and reminisce on his time with Port Stanvac Marine and tell anyone he was playing with all about his life as a seaman. He would always count how many ships were waiting to go into the Port of Newcastle.

I'm going to add some of the pictures we took. It was a poignant moment in time and unfortunately as Amy, Steve and Ophelie are away on holidays they weren't there. I'll take Amy up some other time. Whilst Julie is here Mum said she will spread some of Dad's ashes around their garden too. When we go home to Adelaide later this year we will take the rest with us and scatter him at his favourite places.

I had a really really eerie experience as I was downloading the pictures from this afternoon - I had the radio on and Dad's favourite song Blue Spanish Eyes came on - we had that song at his funeral. It gave me goosebumps. Dad is certainly watching over me.

I couldn't think of a better day than Easter Sunday to scatter Dad's ashes and am so thankful to the Golf club for allowing us to do this in memory of him.

Thanks for listening to me chatter. Love and blessings to each and everyone of you Cuties. Happy Easter! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed.
