Maybe I will even get to see it later this year - eldest and I are thinking of going to the world cup! <br /><br />I wonder who it was I stayed with in Auckland? I should know - it's nagging at my mind. I know that it was a Pullar who was then, I think, at uni. I remember the face, the house and some of our conversations. <br /><br />Also, don't the Pullars also have an Australian connection?Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-76271304229815366202011-01-04T07:26:18.753+11:002011-01-04T07:26:18.753+11:00Yes you are accurate about the wheat drying.

If I...What a wonderful New Year surprise, Margaret. If I remember correctly, I may be wrong, the last time we met was on a visit to your place where I talked with Gordon about drying wheat! Was it Phillip I stayed with in Auckland?<br /><br />Good to hear that Roger is well, exciting to hear of Viv's engagement.Those NZ trips still occupy a very special place in my memories.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-2171357384787329042011-01-01T16:53:53.529+11:002011-01-01T16:53:53.529+11:00James, my son Phillip found this on the web.
