GOODBYE MARIA

I think I've mentioned before how much people come and go in our lives here in Basel. Maria arrived nearly 3 months ago from Sydney, Australia for long service leave and to see her boyfriend who is Swiss and lives in Basel. She literally threw herself into life in Basel, joining and volunteering at Centrepoint, volunterring at a child care centre in Basel and going to German lessons 4 mornings a week. Roger and I were most fortunate to meet her shortly after she arrived, at a morning tea at Centrepoint. So, here we are saying farewell to a beautiful lady who we have become very fond of.

You will only be separated by miles, but your friendship will long live on. What a blessing to meet and have such lovely friends!
