The New Year Smiths
The weekend of January 4 saw the first gathering of TheSmiths in 2014 at Catslide. A combination of family factors, far too complicated to explain, brought Andrew and Sonia, Matt, Tam and Lana, Kate and Ants, Nick and Amanda, together at Catslide with oma Rosemary and Chris. A houseful at this time of year with no balmy camping on the lawn.
