Frenchie, They weren't an older couple - John and Judy by any chance??
if so their good friends of the family and used to provide child care for my younger brother. they gave that up and started looking after a holiday house thingy in Denmark. We stayed there twice a year but they also maintained a place in Coral Bay. they had two daschunds as well.

Well thats my ramblings anyway.

BTW frenchie, do you own a brown Rangie? was driving through Perth hills a few weeks back and one flashed its lights and waved (it was all very enthusiastic ). Was it you???
