Good bye Bakersfield

Never imagined this day would arrive! We have talked and planned and prayed and laughed and cried - and now it's here .. and happening! Courtesy of my wonderful employers, Brian and Mary Komoto, my amazing team of girls, and my boss and friend of many years, Bill, "Wine Me Up" graciously hosted a farewell for Nev and I in Bakersfield last night and we had a fabulous night! My mum, sister, Nev and I did all the catering: baootie, samoosas, boerewors, melktert, sausage rolls, scones with strawbery jam and cream, crunchies, and my first attempt at biltong! We also served a cheese, crackers, fruit and vegie smorgasboard, chips and dips. Along with that came the GREAT company of everyone who was there! Lots of laughs (and some tears!) - thanks to all of you for being there - you made the night and the close of this chapter PERFECT! And a plug for Wine Me Up - Don and his team were fantastic! they even cleaned up everyting for us while we had one last glass of wine - what a spoil! Thanks so much again to everyone xx love you all xx

Saying goodbye
