NYE Australian Style

 I am feeling like we haven’t just flown around the world, but have landed on another planet. The sunshine is very good for making us generally happy people. My memories of spending NYE by the beach seem a very long time ago. So it was so lovely to relax on the beach with friends on NYE (Sophie, Patrick and William holding hands, below). My sister organized a pirate theme….. ah-arrggggh!

We’ve been exploring the local extractions down the peninsular including the McClelland Sculpture  Park, numerous hedge mazes, views across  the bay from Arthur’s Seat and various walks through the bush.

 On warmer days we either walk to the beach or play on the slippery slide in the garden, or tug-of-war, or generally spray hoses and sprinklers around. Tomorrow we have a large water fight planned! Don’t come to Mt. Eliza if you don’t want to get wet!

And at the end of the day, story time before bed.
