Chinese Gardens (Sydney)

I spent a lovely morning strolling around these stunning gardens near Darling Harbour. A very tranquil place.

Swain Gardens, Kilara, with Des

I met up with Des and we explored the Swain Gardens. Lovely flowers and lots of deep discussion.

Blue Mountains Long Weekend

A lovely long weekend with the hiking gang, hiking in The Blue Mountains, staying at The YHA.

Memories

• The drive up with Kate
• Raining at the start of our first hike, then stopping (much to our relief)
• The mist and cloud over the valley
• Getting to meet Liz's new man, Mark. He's wonderful!
• Martin coming up to join us for Saturday night and Sunday. Everyone loved him of course.
• A hilarious game of Trivial Pursuit
• A fun game of Taboo
• The delicious pizza at the local bakery
• Restaurant in Leura
• A veritable feast of soup and chicken and cheese on the last night
• Visiting The Botanical Garden at Mount Tomah in the sun on the last day.
