At the end of each Friendship Force exchange, the clubs get together for dinner and fun. In Thames, the fun was a hilarious exchange of song and theatre. Wanda, of Wanda and Roy, my hosts, was in charge of entertainment, so it was spectacular! Their chapter sang the NZ national anthem in English and Maori, other songs and did a new version of "Cinderella" with an ending that none of us had ever heard before! We sang "Chicago" (I did the 'watermelon, watermelon' version) and "My Country 'tis of thee".
Thames is a wonderful memory for me. I'll especially remember the teasing talk from Roy which made me feel like a part of the family and Wanda's energy which made me feel
that growing older doesn't need to mean growing up!
