Wedding at Rain Farm
A few weeks before their wedding I met Oren and Lindie at Rain Farm. It was here that I realised their daughter, Ava was in the same school as Saharah and shared aftercare together. They recognised each other and ended up playing together while sharing a meal. It was quite a surreal meeting.

The Oyster Box {Part 2}
