Speaker 5: didn't realize she was pregnant. She didn't discover that till
Speaker 5: she got to Scotland. Anyway, my great grandmother passes away.

Speaker 5: so she flies home. When she sits down on the plane.
Speaker 5: At the plane, she discovers that the lady next.
Speaker 4: To her is a midwife.
Speaker 5: So part way through the flight, as you would expect,
Speaker 5: the water breaks, the midwife delive is the baby and
Speaker 5: it ends up being twinned. No, mom didn't even know
Speaker 5: she was having twins, so she had a bit of
Speaker 5: trouble getting random chance or not, but next to a
Speaker 5: midwife sitting next to a midwife, go figure.

Speaker 3: this very remote town for lunch. I'm talking like there's
Speaker 3: a petrol station, a bakery in a pub and the
Speaker 3: only other handful of shops were all boarded up, and
Speaker 3: it was this tiny, creepy town and James and I
Speaker 3: were like, oh, you know, this would make such like
Speaker 3: a great setting for a Scooby Doo mystery, like tumbleweeds everywhere,
Speaker 3: like these creepy old black people whatever. And we were
Speaker 3: walking back to the car and parked next to the
Speaker 3: car was a mystery machine.

Speaker 8: Good morning, Christian, Hi guys, how are you this morning?
Speaker 2: We're good Kim.
Speaker 1: Now, Kim, you're the person as a story about the
Speaker 1: patron Saint Anthony.
Speaker 2: I do great so love a Patron Saints story.
Speaker 1: Normally we take patron Saints on a Thursday, but I'm
Speaker 1: happy to take a confession now.
Speaker 2: For the Christians.
Speaker 8: So this was back in the eighties and I was
Speaker 8: playing competition netball and as I went on to the court,
Speaker 8: I gave my friend a cross in chain that was
Speaker 8: really special to me because you're not allowed to wear
Speaker 8: jewelry when you play. So he put it in his
Speaker 8: pocket and you know, played the game. Later that night,
Speaker 8: I asked him for the cross back and he couldn't
Speaker 8: find it, and I was devastated because it was really
Speaker 8: special to me. So I said, we have to go
Speaker 8: back to that field. And it was like two soccer fields,
Speaker 8: five network ports, and a whole load of grass everywhere
Speaker 8: that we've been all over.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 8: So we decided to go back. The gates of the
Speaker 8: oval were shut, but he and I got down on
Speaker 8: our bellies and climbed underneath the gate, went with torches
Speaker 8: looking all over the oval for this tiny little cross
Speaker 8: that anybody could have picked up. And anyway, after I
Speaker 8: don't know, an hour or an hour and a half
Speaker 8: or so we decided to give up, and we were
Speaker 8: just going back to the car. And as I was
Speaker 8: going back to the car, having learned about Saint Anthony
Speaker 8: in my schooling, I just said, oh, St Anthony, patriot
Speaker 8: of lost thing, how would you let me know if
Speaker 8: I was looking in the wrong spot? And I shone
Speaker 8: the torch down on the ground once more and it
Speaker 8: was right at the top of my big toe.
Speaker 2: Oh love this story. That's incredible. You found it, you
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 8: I could not believe it, Christian. Honestly, I just was
Speaker 8: about to give up and thought this could have been
Speaker 8: picked up by anybody all throughout the day and.
Speaker 2: There for us.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was pretty amazing. I thought you were pretty
Speaker 8: pretty against me.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I got it, Kim. I love your story. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much for calling up and sharing it with
Speaker 1: us this morning.
Speaker 4: Have a good day, Thanks Christian.
