Rain
during the night. Slept ok with the cotton sheets and the big blanket off
though still in long PJs. 20 degrees this morning with heavy sky and drizzle.
My
camera is being replaced and David offered to pick it up for me from Canterbury
as he will be working nearby.
Headed
to Camden to attend Marion’s mother’s funeral, Acushla Reilly, at 1.30pm at St
Paul’s Catholic Church. Sat beside Uncle Wal with all the family. Lovely
service. Will catch up with the family on Friday.
Programmed
‘girlie’ to head north to Andrea & Steve’s at Wahroonga. Light traffic on
freeways so decided to detour to Palm Beach. On our honeymoon we met Margaret
who lived at Whale Beach which is just before Palm Beach.
Stopped
at Newport Beach. Bleak day at the beach though with the wild wind and heavy
sky.
Rang
Mum to tell her about the funeral.
Malcolm
rang to say he won’t be coming over for the last race meeting as they haven’t
had enough rain and he is working 24/7 on irrigating. Getting up at 2am to move
the irrigator – the life of a farmer.
Further
along the coast then onto the Pittwater side of the point where lots of boats
are moored.
Past
the golf course and a park then onto the ocean side at Palm Beach into
Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park.
Looking
at Barrenjoey Head with the lighthouse on top. Around the point is Broken Bay
that we were looking over when we did our Hawkesbury River boat trip on
Saturday.
Down
to Observation Point on the Pittwater.
Someone
has a nice pontoon.
Map of where we are.
Palm
Beach not looking to tropical with the bleak weather.
Back
along the high ridge over Bilgola Beach, looking back to Newport Beach.
Spotted
a flash temple – Baha’i Temple at Ingleside.
Traffic
was good and we got back to Wahroonga at 6.30pm for dinner with Steve’s cousin,
Andrea and family - Steve, Sam, Emma and Meg. So great to catch up with them
all again.
A
lot of driving for Steve but we timed it well with the traffic and Steve is so patient
and confident it was all ok.
