My friend Vanessa is returning to the UK to live in the next few weeks, so it seemed the perfect warm winter Sunday to head to the beach to take some photos to remember what life is like here in Australia during the winter months...
Its was certainly a beautiful day to start the spring school holidays, overcast but a warm balmy 27c. The children screamed with delight when we decided to head to Redleaf pool and Seven Shillings beach. It was so gorgeous there yesterday afternoon lying under a tree watching the kids jump off the pontoons into the harbour and we virtually had the beach to ourselves. Yesterday was a taste of the summer ahead and I can't wait!
Bondi was closed today because of the 91/2 ft swell so off to Clovelly Ocean Bath we went with a car load of kids thinking that they could swim and snorkel around in the relative protected surrounds of the enclosed baths. How wrong were we it was like a huge washing machine and most unpleasant, we all managed to have a swim in the Geoff James pool but otherwise we were all hot and bothered on the beach wanting to swim but not been able to.
