We still have dreams of international and interstate travel (particularly walks) but the Covid 19 Virus continues to play havoc with our lives and plans in Australia.
Nick, our son, and his three children were planning to spend the school holidays in Perth but suddenly Sydney has become a hotspot and WA closed its borders but fortunately they were able to escape the lockdown and spend the vacation at our Broulee coast house with us.
It’s winter temperatures but still lots to do with the beach and parks.
Lots of coffee at the Muffin Shop.
A bus trip to the nearby town of Moruya
Re-creation of the bus trip
Lots of bike riding and beach time
A very successful visit to the Mogo Zoo
Meanwhile in Canberra, cold temperatures and our nine month- old granddaughter, Indi, succumbs to a virus and is hospitalised with dehydration. We returned to Canberra for a few days to support our daughter and her three older children. Recovery has been slow and steady but such a worrying time.
With the freezing temperatures and kids with colds we had a few days of playing indoor games. We created a shopping game, designing catalogues and spending Monopoly money.
One afternoon we devised a four mountain challenge, driving up 4 high points - Red Hill, Dairy Farmers’ Hill, Black Mountain and Mount Ainslie and appreciating the stunning views around our capital city.
A perfect time to celebrate Mitchell’s 3rd birthday!
How lucky we are to live close to family and to be able to support them!

PS An unexpected find on the beach. A woebegone shark!
