シドニーからアンドレとグレッグ夫妻がやって来た。
仕事を兼ねての欧州への三カ月に亙る旅の最初に、我々に会う為にだけ
東京へ立ち寄ってくれた。ここ十数年、毎年日本には来ていたが、今回は
コロナ禍の為、四年振りの再会である。
我々がシドニー駐在を始めた時からのアンドレの御家族との親戚の様なお付き合は五十三年余りとなる。
我々の長男と孫娘も一緒で、六本木「田舎家」で至福の時を過ごした。
Andree and Greg, a couple from Sydney, arrived. As part of their journey to Europe, they made a stop in Tokyo solely to meet with us. They have been coming to Japan every year for the past decade, but due to the circumstances of the pandemic, this reunion marks the first time in four years. Since we started our assignment in Sydney,our relationship with Andree's family spans over fifty-three years． Our eldest son and granddaughter were also with us, and we enjoyed precious moments together at the "Inaka-ya" in Roppongi.
