Season's Greetings From Shambani.By Harry Atkins.

Dear Monty,

Dear Monty,
What is the collective noun for Kangaroos? I wonder.
I suggest a thump of kangaroos. I/We all hope that life
is going well for you. I'm not much good on my lap top
so I do not follow your colourful blogs.
.+.
Summer has come but we have a fair amount of water
stored. I wonder if you have been on any adventure
since we last saw you (in London last September).
.+.
Advent - how I loved that season as a child.
Perhaps you will be carol-singing at this season.
We hope that Christmas is cosy and peaceful.
.+.
Best wishes, Myrna, Harry, Rosalind and Perry.
Shambani, Mt. Barker, South Australia.
Dec. 11. 2009.

I received the above Christmas card message from my
dear friend and author Harry Atkins and his lovely wife
Myrna along with their family at Shambani, via Australian
Mail, on the Eve Before Christmas Eve at London, UK.
.+.
Harry is a devout Welsh Anglican and retired Kenya
schoolmaster and delightful Myrna is a Welsh Presbyterian.
Their daughter Rosalind is a registered nurse and her fine
husband Perry is a gym instructor. Shambani is located at
remote Mt. Barker in the wonderful Adelaide Hills at where
nature and animal-loving - horses, dogs, sheep, cats, and
of course, visiting kangaroos - are held in supreme respect
at the hobby farm of Shambani.
.+.
I shall always remember my stay there and hope that
one day I may return to such an earthly paradise that it
resembles so much for me in so many charming ways!
I happily send my best Christmas greetings to all at
Shambani and to all those good folkz and the eye-catching
kangaroos among South Australia's Adelaide Hills ...
Very truly, Uncle Monty.
+Eve Before Christmas Eve, 2oo9.
