Another wonderful adventure with Elna inspired by her book of best secret swimming spots in Sydney. A short walk to the pool but quite steep so we had a hot walk out. The pool itself was lovely and there was a fun 5 metre leap into the pool. A lovely day out, always so great to spend time with dear Elna.

Walk to Resolute Beach (West Head) with Elna
Elna bought a book of the best and most remote swimming spots in Sydney. She is planning to explore them all if she can. She asked me to join me on an adventure to the first one on the list: Resolute Beach. The walk in was lovely, taking about 30 minutes, through pristine bush. The beach itself was gorgeous too, with beautiful blue sea and some nice sculptured rocks. We had a lovely swim. Hopefully I will join her on lots more of her outings as she ticks down the list.

Knowing you are an early riser I am sending birthday greetings as you get up and as I go to bed. I hope you have a special day and will be celebrating in some way with friends. I also hope it’s the beginning of a wonderful new year filled with loving friends, happy times and a trip to Cape Town before you reach the next birthday. Much love from us both. Mum & Mike, Xxx
Happy Birthday Graeme

You are one in a million.

You still have that pure innocent wonder of a child
You originate and create
You really care: Mackie, Jilly, Sue, your dear grand dad Yogi and all of us, your family of friends

The Bikeriders
I recently saw "The Bikeriders" at the cinema with Elna and really liked it because it felt so authentic. The movie is based on actual people written about and photographed by Danny Lyon back in the 60s in a photobook of the same name. Seeing those real-life characters and stories on the big screen made everything feel genuine and brought the whole biker culture from that time to life.

Evans Lookout to Govett's Leap with the Hiking Gang
I hadn't seen the Hiking Gang in well over a year, so it was so lovely to meet up. I drove up with Lauren and we all met at Blackheath. Zante and Andrew brought there little one who is so cute. After a relaxed hike, we went back to the house that Petros and Michelle were renting for the weekend and had the most amazing lunch.
