A walk from Newport Beach to Whale Beach with Sharon, Elwin, Lydia, Shushann and Anush

A beautiful walk that I'd never done before on a gorgeous sunny day after all the rain with some of my favourite people in the world.  A lovely existential discussion with Elwin at lunch and delicious grilled barramundi.  I finished the walk with an invigorating swim on Whale Beach. As Sharon says so beautifully "Life is good!"

Visiting Tina in Carcoar

Shushann and I visited Tina in Carcoar and had an idyllic few days there.

Highlights included:

• Lots of lovely, healthy food including amazing fruit salad for breakfast.
• A wonderful picnic on the grass of salad, smoked salmon and goats cheese.
• Lots of beautiful, deep conversation and plenty of laughs.
• Drawing Shushann's soul cards with probing questions.
• An invigorating swim in the dam and in Ruth's new plunge pool.
• Some really fun table tennis.
• Orgasmic short-bread chocolates.
• Getting up early to photograph Carcoar.
• Exploring the old hospital adjacent to Tina's house.
• Getting to drive Shushann's wonderful newish car.
