The Stanleys


Yesterday night Antonio and Me were the guests to a beautiful soirée at the Stanley family house;
Anne & Greg Stanley, Liv and her boyfriend Nick, and Tom and girlfriend Candice, were the hosts.

Tom is 21, rugby player in High School Old Boys, and he just finish a degree in building engineering. Since I arrive in Christchurch, I met some outstanding people, and Tom and his family probably are on top of the list.

They gave me the opportunity to get an extra cash doing some work in their garden, and Tom act as my cicerone. He show me the city, the damage, told me a bit of history from the place, and drove me around Christchurch too. Something that I really really appreciate. like Tom says, 'someone has to do it'.

There is not too much to say about the dinner, -actually I am speechless- but that, it was a fantastic time. A very nice roast pork, Pavlova cake for dessert -they already know my weakness about sweet stuff, and they offer me to take away what was left after repeating three times- all of this watering with wines from the private collection of Tom's father, lot of laughs, and Antonio and me at our usual best. All of this make ours nights priceless.

Sadly there is not pictures from the night, but I recover this document from the dust that I want to share with you.
