We’re back home to 41 degrees in Sydney and our aircon going full blast. Sooty is very pleased to see us and is trying to dribble into the keyboard as I write.
We had a splendid evening meal at Tillerman’s yesterday – the poshest restaurant in Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest. The usual starter of cheese souffle for both of us, an amazing dish. Then barramundi for me and Jan had another starter – a charcuterie board with lots of super stuff on it including rillettes and pate.
The surf beach at Hawks Nest
We managed a final swim at Jimmy’s beach this morning. It’s a lovely spot with warm clear water and it’s usually calm in the mornings. We’ll miss the regular swimming. The previous day I spent ages watching a pod of dolphins through the binoculars as they swam up and down just off the beach, now and then lifting their tails clear of the water as they dived deeper – presumably to chase fish.
We packed everything, had a last brunch at the Boatshed, then drove back to Sydney. Light traffic and no bushfires, thank goodness. It was a very lazy, very pleasant holiday. It’s nice, however, to be back with a full complement of technology and instant web access. It certainly makes blogging much easier.
All the best to Jan for her surgery. She is young and fit and should fly through
Let us know how it goes xx (Reta)
It sounds like a return trip might be in order for Jan to convalesce. Best wishes xx
