Day 2 : Tuesday 19th April:
Thulani went to Somerset to a nursing home to visit one of Beryl's very dear friends. Her name is Joyce and she is very very ill. She was delighted to hear the story of Thulani, and he brought a smile to her face when Beryl told her of his adventures so far and where he was to go next. He also went to visit some other elderly people at the home and brought great joy to them as well.

Tasmania is well known for it's fantastic apples, but we also have wonderful seafood, dairy products and wines!
Thulani is living with 3 generations of women...Beryl (84), Rosemary (49) and Erin (18). Thulani met Rusky, our pet samoyed, but Rusky is a bit boisterous and playful so she only got to have a quick look at him!
