Simon and Bec moved to Ardlethan (a very small country town near Wagga Wagga) where Simon was an Assistant Manager on a Farm and Rebecca was a Legal Secretary in Griffith . During our time there, a very sad event occurred, Molly passed away peacefully just before Christmas. She was buried on our good friend’s (McKinnons) farm and to this day we still say hello to her when we are visiting the McKinnons.

Well poor Cookie was a bit lost, so as a Christmas present to Bec, Simon had organised a little yellow puppy girl, Paris “Rodorbal on the Catwalk”, who was brought up to Ardlethan by Linda and Greg who helped us move to Leeton.
