Many years ago we went on a tour of beautiful New Zealand for 11 days. On the 6th day of the tour my husband was very homesick missing our 4 children. l must admit l wasn't. l just wanted to escape for a little while, as our children were small then.
My parents were staying at our home looking after them. We decided to ring them again to put his mind at ease.
My mother said, "No don't worry about them Kerry broke her toe and l have taken her to the doctors and she's O.K. Rodd went picking tomatoes and l'v'e taken him to the doctors and he had sunstroke but he's alright, Don't worry about little Kyle l took him to the doctor but he only had a stomach bug, he's O.K"."What about Jody" l said? Mum put Jody on the line but l couldn't understand a word he said," What's wrong with your voice" By this time l was starting to panic
Jody replied "l'm just eating a lollipop!"
We decided to go for a walk as our bus tour was now in beautiful Dunedin on the South lsland.
As we were nearing the fountain my husband got very excited the West lndies Cricketers were here.They had recently been in a test series in Australia and my husband, son and their friends had been to see them.
Joel Garner ( affectionately called --Big Bird )
He is 6ft .8 Inches tall and born in 1952
Playing for the West lndies he was known as one
of the fastest bowlers of all time.
Michael Holding (affectionately called Whispering Death )
He is 6ft.3 inches tall and born in 1954.
in Australia he was known as the Panther as he moved so fast,
and also 1 of the top bowlers of all time
Hubby had forgotten about being homesick, as he was in his
glory talking to these Cricketers.
