Mollymook, Canberra, Home

Wed 10^th & 11^th Sept Mollymook

Sometimes in life we are lucky enough to meet someone with whom we feel a connection. This happened to us last year on our cruise and we have missed our dining partners Angela and Joan since we got home. We were looking forward to visiting them and catching up and we certainly weren’t disappointed. They live in a delightful home backing onto a golf course. Behind it are some trees and they are full of colourful birds. Their home is a treasure trove of interesting art works and is comfortable and welcoming. It was hard to believe that a year had passed because the conversation started as we entered and didn’t wane until we left. On Thursday we had lunch overlooking the sea one day and met another of their friends, Roz, who was enjoying s coffee as she read her book. We all had lunch together and Roz returned to the house with us for an enjoyable slideshow of Joan and Angela’s most recent trip.



Saying our goodbyes.

Fri 12^th – Sat 13^th Getting home

On our way we stopped off at Bob and Rhonda’s place and spent a very comfortable night in their unit. It was great to catch up with them because they have been very good friends of ours for more than 40 years. We have shared many holidays and good times together and have watched each other’s kids grow up and become independent. They have just done a lot of work on their house and have made some excellent improvements. Their bamboo flooring is lovely. In the morning we all went our own ways. Bob is practicing for another kayak marathon, Rhonda was playing golf and visiting a friend in hospital and we headed home.

We  unpacked the van, started on the mammoth pile of washing and then went to Sue and Bob’s place for dinner. It was good to be home again, especially as the sun was shining warmly.
