A toast to Timmy

Georgia 19th June 2006 -Tblisi
Friendship and hospitality. Read any of the travel guide books and you will find they are unanimous: Georgia is renowned for the warmth and the hospitality of its people. Nowhere is this more evident than at the evening meal. Tables groan with home grown produce, cellars are filled with wine made from the grapes that cover the garden walkways and verandahs of the house and there is fresh fruit and vegetables from the market place. Hours of preparation and cooking to be enjoyed slowly and laced with conversation and toasts extolling the values of friendship, family and the mysteries of life itself.

All this somehow made it easier for us to reflect on the sudden death of our good friend Tim Sinnot. To think and talk with others about our fond memories of him and our shock at the discovery of his unexpected death last week. A warm hearted and generous man who would have been right at home here in Georgia. So Tim, we raise our glasses to you and to Robyn and to all of our friends and family.

To friends, family and the mystery of life: To Timmy.....
