Back in Oz we were hoping to visit the Gold Coast but the weather had been bad with high winds resulting in many of the beaches being closed.
After a delicious breakfast at Espresso Garage we went here
how good is this, a beach in the middle of the city
enjoyed by all!
It's a lovely walk in the Southbank area
Ibis are found all over the place, they are considered a nuisance and have the nick name of 'bin chucks' because they are always scavenging in rubbish bins.
We've had a great time together and created lots of happy memories.

If your daughter is going to live permanently in Australia, have you ever thought of emigrating there so you could live nearer? (I don't know how easy or difficult that might be).
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, it's something I have given a lot of thought to. When she first went out I did think about emigrating, but I had a grandson here, and I knew he would be my only grandchild. I then thought about 6 months there and 6 months here, but coulnd't afford two homes so annual holidays was the only solution. I wouldn't get in now as they only want highly skilled workers or young people :-(
DeleteLooks like you saw some wonderful sights. I think the best part for you was probably seeing them in the company of your daughter.
ReplyDeleteIt was Lorrie, and it was extra special this time as my eldest daughter went with me.
DeleteWelcome home, Polly. Your holiday looks like a dream. Don't worry -- it'll warm up soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie, I am feeling much better now, we've had some sunny days, and the birds are singing every day :-)
DeleteWelcome back, Polly, although I can well imagine how hard it was to leave OZ with its warmer temps and such lovely scenics.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beatrice. It was but I'm settling back into routine now.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
