My Uncle Malcolm in OZ!

[Michael Alexander]

This afternoon my Uncle Malcolm in Victoria State , Australia phoned me......

In our chatter, he mentioned to me that his son, my cousin , who works on gas projects around the world, was at base workshop in Perth, when he bashed into an older chap there....

They started to chat..... about Africa, when my cousin mentioned he had family in Africa...... the old guy asked whereabout...... Utterly astonished to learn that this guy had worked in Oranjemund back in the day and knew my both my folks and a number of others.....

My uncle cannot recall the name 100% , but thought he mentioned that his surname was Cousins! Anyone out there?

On a 2nd point, my uncle has a little farm with a few sheep and cows on it..... he does not mix with his neighbours that much, but as luck would have it, he was down at the gate of his farm, when the neighbouring farmer turned up, so they had a quick natter..... turns out the neighbour is from South Africa and even more stranger, that the framers wife is from Namibia..... I asked my uncle to ask him next time, whereabouts in Nambia she hailed from.....
