Dot belongs to an organisation called Probus - mainly populated by professional people who are retirees (or about to become so). Yesterday (Friday) they met for a lunch in a little place called Bendemeer on the New England Highway about 75km south of Armidale. In 1854 the village gained its name after a line in the 1817 poem Lalla-Rookh by Thomas Moore.
I offered to be chauffeur for the day and drove the four of us down there including Dot's two friends. The lunch was held in the local pub, which was sited in an attractive location on the banks of the McDonald River, a tributary of the Namoi, which itself feeds into the Darling river system. The lawns were neatly manicured, the meal was nice, and the company interesting. So, in all, it was a pleasant day out and we were home by about 3pm.
