Mike, and Jane, hello there in Australia! Very happy that you found Tink and Jen through the marionfsblog. We liked them so very much when we met them at Shiwa Ngandu in Zambia, where they now live. Not surprisingly they are providing great support to Jo and Charlie Harvey, whose estate it is. I will let him know that you were trying to find news of him, but unfortunately internet access in those parts is very limited, and what there is seems most unreliable so one never knows if anything gets through. Here’s hoping…

Hello Marion,
Strangely enough I have just googled Tink Robey and came across your blog. I (and many of my colleagues) saw practice with Tink (and Jen) when we were going through vet school. They are a fantastic couple and were very inspirational to us all. Please pass on our regards,
Mike Gilmore and Jane Page

And hello to you, Jamie, there in Bali! I was was delighted to hear from you (hope you’re still enjoying your pool!) and very thrilled that you had caught up with your friends Tink and Jen through the marionfsblog! Just in case they are not poring through every post I will email them with your email address and hopefully they will be in touch. I don’t think the Internet access is great for them, it certainly wasn’t when we were there but they do get through intermittently – so don’t expect an instant response! Tink and Jen were very kind to us while we were at Shiwa, and we so enjoyed their company. We would have loved the opportunity to get to know them better.
Your comment has reminded me that I still have a post about Shiwa, yet to be published, possibly some time next week…keep enjoying Bali (and Margaret River sounds okay too!).

Tink and Gen are great people and they were very kind to me as a young teenager.
Please pass on my regards from Margaret River Australia if you’re in touch with them still. Thank you

Sue, we didn’t really have much choice when the alternative was far more tedious and possibly far more potentially dangerous on what are often very bad roads used by some fairly carefree motorists! Each flight we went on was faultless, and I really enjoyed being able to see, clearly, what we were flying over.
