So sad to hear of Dave's passing. My thoughts have often turned to Riversdale and Markuri adventures, the Caravan baking, the dune buggy, the crays, bbq'ed octopus, the games of cards, as old family friends did. My sincere condolences to Dot, Pete, Jase, Fiona and the wider family. I won't be able to make it to Blenheim to pay my respects in person but please know you'll be in my thoughts on Friday. With love
