On our previous trip which included seeing my Sis in Brisbane, and Barry's nephew at Mt Tambourine, we called in at a lovely seaside village and decided to spend some time there regularly in future, and we had our first midweek break there this past week, after our singing commitments for July were over.
We have had a few bleak days, after all it is Winter, but I knew we were due for some lovely days, as our average Winter temperature is 21C, and we were fortunate to spend those days on the banks of the beautiful Brunswick River, not far from the lovely beaches in that area.
Must admit I was pleased to catch up with some reading, and Barry tried his hand at a spot of fishing. He only caught one fish, and put it back as he thought it would be too small. However I picked up some information at the local fishing shop later, and it was of a legal size.
We had a few games of Scrabble and Rubicub in the evenings, we always enjoy those quiet evenings, also Barry enjoys his guitar and I took the ukulele. As this is the off season, it was fairly quiet and we appreciated it.
However the best part was to come, as my son and daughter-in-law moved back to QLD on Thursday, and we went along to stay a few days in a lovely townhouse with them on Friday afternoon. They had hoped to move directly into their own home, but that was a bit ambitious, and now they will have time to find just the right place, though they seemed keen to stay in the current complex, even though that was not their original idea.
They did a barbecue outdoors on the terrace in the evening and the men enjoyed jamming. I had not heard my son sing before, and he was very clever on the guitar. They were so thrilled to be back in QLD, commenting that it seemed to be windy cold or wet so much while they were in Sydney, they had not bbq'd even once. Certainly there may have been some good weather in Sydney, but it has made the headlines with the wild, windy and wet weather time after time.
My son took us all to the Currumbin Surf Club for a lovely lunch on Saturday, then we left them with the promise that we would see them again next month, as we are going to do it all again.

Sounds like you had a good week. It is nice to be with family. They will be closer than Sydney now. Those northern beaches are lovely and I always prefer the beach in winter.
Hey Jan, it is lovely to see you blogging again! I've read your last three posts and am happy to see everything going so well. It is always so wonderful to give thanks. Blessings.
