We have just had a wonderful week up north in a beautiful town called Byron Bay. It is famous for being the most easterly point of Australia and has a wonderful big lighthouse. It has a beautiful beach, a cruisy atmosphere, great diving (for Jim) and warm weather. Yes, my friends, it is Paradise here on Earth. Jim and I hadn't been since 2002 although we had been a couple of times before that. I had honestly forgotten what a magnificent place it is. We got there, yes lovely, nice apartment for the week, lovely, walk to the beach, through the sand dunes, look up and.........OH MY GOD! This beach is breathtaking. Crystal blue water, white sand, gentle lapping waves,(unless you are on the point, where it's big waves that all the surfers love!). We had a wonderful week of playing in the water, digging holes, walking everywhere. We hired a baby sitter one night and went out for dinner at a very nice restaurant and I had a little too much wine for the first time in at least 18 mths if not more, it was great! The boys were so happy because Daddy was around ALL the time, we kicked the beach ball around, we chased seagulls, we even did a bit of star gazing. We also had our good friends holidaying at the same time, so this photo is of all the kids hanging out after a full on day at the beach. A bit of Lightening McQueen to relax in front of after a busy day isn't a bad thing at all! Photos don't do justice, but memories do, but for you all, I've just included some photos.
The last one is just my boys the other morning. They were actually talking to each other. I took a video of it too, but I'll have to wait for Jim to be home to load that one on - beyond my capabilities. It's definitely moments like these that get you through the 'hitting your head against the wall' days.
Hope you are all well...........
