Our plane taxied out to the runway ready to take off. I was gripping Tony's hand as I dislike take offs and don't feel safe until the plane straightens out, when the Pilot came on the air and said we would be returning to base. We were not allowed off the plane as the Pilot said it would not be long that there was a fault and the engineer was looking into it. An hour later the Pilot said there was a problem with the landing gear and should not be too much longer. Half hour later they said the problem was fixed but they needed to refuel. Why the had to refuel after only taxing out to the runway I don't quite understand. Fifteen minutes later they said the refueller had arrived. So 2 hrs late we took off hoping that the landing gear would work. Poor Kenneth did not ring first to see if the plane was delayed and had been waiting 2 hrs at Perth airport to pick us up.
It was raining heavily on Saturday morning and the wedding ceremony was to held in the gardens about an hours drive south from where we were staying at Wannaroo. On our way blue sky happened and when we reach the gardens the sun was shinning and continued to shine throughout the wedding although it was very cold. I don't know what Amanda did to make this happen but it must have been something good.
