try out everything a few time.

We had a lovely day with Joshua.

He is a gorgeous little boy.

He never stop talking.

We did not wait to see Amelia after school,

He has to decide which treatment.

I am not going with him, so as not to 

influence him.

Margaret, 50 years in Australia

Sunday 1 March

We drove to Terrigal to celebrate

Margaret fifty years in Australia.

It looked very lovely, all yellow and white.

Australian and Yorkshire flags

Margaret got a new Aussie swimsuit for her next cruise.

these roses look like the Yorkshire roses.

It was such a hot day that we came inside for

the speeches, all about Margaret life in Australia.

and then cakes..yum yum

Margaret and her elder daughter Nathalie.

Going to the Opera House

Saturday 28 February

We decided to go to Sydney for 5 pm

for our 8 pm concert, so we would have

 time to look around for a restaurant.

Driving down Macquarie street we saw a

huge cruise boat just at the end of the street.

It must have passed very near the Opera.

But by the time I got my phone out we were too

near and it did not look as dramatic.

Claude having a drink

Lunch at Eden garden

Friday 27 February

The Dr at Macquarie Uni Hospital was

1 hour late to see Claude, so after the

consultation it was after 2 pm.

We were starving.

When we passed near Eden garden Nursery,

I suggested to Claude that we try there.

We had a lovely salad with roasted cauliflower

and "green wheat"

to me it looked like cracked wheat.

Anyway it was delicious.

New trail is open

Thursday 26 February

The loop around Narrabeen Lakes is now completed.

We went to have a look at the new part

now open.

nice concrete path, no mud on this trail!

one of the two new bridges

I cannot zoom with my phone, there is a 

lot of black swans on the sand bank.

new plants, They did a lot of work.

It really look great.

beautiful old tree

the other bridge

It was late afternoon on a very gray day.

This walk will be OK to do after the rain, but on a sunny day

I still prefer the bush path.

A couple of days ago, Claude did the whole loop.

It took him 2 hours.
