First week home!…

So good to be home…weather is warming up , the ocean looks good and everything is just moving along nicely. Celebrated belatedly Steph’s 21st Birthday with my family at Grandma and Grandpop’s house at Bonny Hills with the famous fish and chip dinner and Leigh organised a cake…Reanna was there too!ImageImageImageImageImage

I still call Australia home!

Landed in Sydney and somehow made the flight on Qantas back to Port Macquarie where I was welcomed home with beautiful flowers by Mum and Steph…Shane even waved the plane in! Had lunch at Bittersweet in lighthouse and my first decent coffee…Belaroma, Strong flat white extra hot…Flat whites are truly Australian!Image

Last weekend in the UK…

Flew from Salzburg to Duselldorf to Stansted where Roseanne picked me up for the last weekend in the United Kingdom. Floyd came down to spend the weekend and and it was lovely to all be together and Floyd joining in with the kids!  Roseanne baked her wonderful roast chicken dinner with ‘ah Bisto’ gravy as well as a special request dinner of salt marsh lamb! We lunched at the seafront before Roseanne drove me to Heathrow where I left on my ‘Upper class’ Virgin Atlantic flight home to Australia, not before sampling the delights of the Lounge which was an amazing space of restaurant, bars, massage, hair and beauty therapy…Goodbye Europe, it has been 8 months that has exceeded my expectations!ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
