Caravanning and RVing in Australia

Arthur and Pat Pullin who have both turned 100, enjoyed an afternoon tea with their friends of Division 1 of the RACV Caravan Club here in Victoria, Australia recently - here are a few shots of the happy couple and the cake that helped Pat celebrate the occasion of her birthday.

 

Arthur was keen that I noticed that Pat, at 100 years old, was reading the small print without glasses!!!!!!!

Lady club members made this magnificent cake!

Pat blows out the one candle representing 100 years!

This wonderful quilt was made by the ladies of Division 1 of the RACV Caravan Club and shows highlights of Arthur and Pat's life together

Congratulations to you both - it's a priviledge to know you and to have shared this wonderful day with you.
