While we were on honeymoon at Champagne castle we shared a table with the Malleson's. Hearing that Jenny was a young bride coming to Pretoria knowing hardly anyone, they invited us to come to their frequent Sunday lunches on their dairy farm, Hazeldean just outside Pretoria. There we met their two sons, Ivan and Harry, who became lifelong friends. We visited the farm regularly and watched the many innovations that ivan and Harry introduced.
Harry married Anna-Katie and Ivan Suzanne and the friendship continued until first Suzanne, then Harry, then Anna-Katie passed away. As of 2025, only Ivan is left.
