Sue N has written a little bit about the visit to Government House...
On Friday as part of the Aussie Hero Dinner weekend we were given the honour of having High tea at the Government House with His Excellency the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd) and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley. I was so very proud and humbled at how approachable and warm they both were. Genuinely interested and thankful about what we do. I especially enjoyed the singalong with Mrs Linda Hurley, a great idea. So good I have taught it to my Grandson on the way home.
Due to my dietary restrictions I asked if they had some fruit and they came out with this, (see photo attached) along with 2 forks to enable me to share this with a friend. Service beyond compare with no prior notice. Done so graciously and generously. The house itself was very calm and they let us walk around and look wherever we wanted and it is beautiful. So glad and thankful for the opportunity to meet and talk to them.
You can enjoy some of the photos of the event, the rest can be found on our website. :-) If you would like copies of any of them you can let me know and I will send them to you but not until after 8 November as I am flat out til then.
