I been in the right place, but it must have been the wrong song (Dr John)


Wie geht's?

This week contained a marriage milestone: our 35th wedding anniversary (coral, apparently) and found us and a few of our original wedding guests, spookily, back where we started from, in the church where Jacqueline Smith said, "I do", on April 21, 1984.

The occasion was a rosary service for Patrick Cameron's much loved mum, Maureen, who had recently passed away after a long productive life.

Coincidentally, that service was conducted at St Joseph's Catholic Church in New Plymouth on April 21, 2019, which explains why we, along with Patrick and his husband Randy, friend Karina and his assorted relatives were congregated there.

Weird feeling for me being there. I could easily recapture the 35 year old scenes with my brother and father and close friends in attendance.  


Not only that, but being an Anglican, means I have no idea what is going on during a catholic service.

Strange, right, how we find ourselves in the right place at the right time but singing the wrong song.

Love and peace - Wozza

P.S. Spookily part2: Jade's in-laws (hello to the Hodge family) were also married on April 21, 1984!! Although not in the same place obviously.
