The other day I came across this little gem when browsing through the last Gunn Newsletter. A bit of information tucked away in between everything else – about Scottish radio

Malcolm’s newsletter says you can tune in to 5EB1, 103.1fm…Tuesday 12.30-1.30pm.  Their address is 10 Byron Place, Adelaide SA 5000. Living in Sydney as I do, I am unable to listen to this program. If anyone else has heard the show, why not tell us about it. What was it like?

Kurnell picnic with Kelly and Adam

We were beginning to think it may never happen. Kelly Gunn, daughter of Andrew Gunn in Sydney, has now set a date for her wedding to Adam Lemke.  Kelly and Adam announced their engagement soon after Valentine’s Day in 2008.  Now, over a year later, there is mark on the calendar for 10 December 2009 as being the date for the wedding.

Kelly and Adam are planning an informal wedding with an outdoors ceremony and a reception for invited guests in one of the local clubs.  Of course we look forward to the occasion with great anticipation and interest.  We also wish them both a long and happy life together in the future.

Above: Kelly and Adam were having a picnic with Ruth and Andrew at Kurnell, South Sydney, when Adam popped the question of asking for Kelly’s hand in marriage.

In a surprise visit to his father, Jim Gunn, the website editor drove from Sydney to Adelaide over the Easter break this year. He was accompanied by his son (Ben), Ben’s wife (Carina) and Andrew’s partner (Ruth).
The four days were filled with great times catching up with Andrew’s sister’s family (Helen Harpas) and with visiting places of interest in and around Adelaide. This included trips to Victor Harbour, the Barossa Valley and, closer to home, Glenelg and Port Adelaide. As an added bonus, Carina’s parents (John and Linda Curry) had also decided to drive over to South Australia and were in Adelaide at the same time, so it was possible to share many of these experiences together. The photo at left shows Jim Gunn talking with his grandson, Ben Gunn, outside the building that once housed the tailor-shop once owned and run by Jim’s father, Ben Gunn senior in Divett Street, Port Adelaide.
