Grimple has fitted right into the Gold Coast lifestyle, lunching with friends and enjoying the beach.

Tuesday was a great catch up day with my old work colleagues from Ray White Real Estate. It would be about 4 years since I’ve seen them so there was a lot of fun chat around the table as we reminisced and filled in the gaps of those missed years together.

My biggest surprise for them was not Grimple, even though he thinks he’s the most important thing in my life – it was introducing my partner Dave to my friends. They were all very happy for me and Dave passed the ‘meet the friends’ test with flying colours. 😍

One of my oldest & dearest friends, Paul, was also there. We have been friends for 38 years, meeting when we were both selling real estate in Brisbane all those years ago.

After lunch Grimple played the poker machines but it proved to be a costly exercise! No jackpots today! We won’t be doing that again any time soon!

Another very exciting thing happened that day on the way to lunch. We met with our travel agent Tammy and booked our flights to the UK. 🌎🛩️✈️

We fly out on June 24 and return on August 30 so we’ll have a few weeks for Dave to catch up with his family and introduce me to the people and places he grew up with. I’m very excited about it, and so is Grimple!
