Sydney no. 2 - Christmas at Ettalong



A kind friend loaned us his beach house at Ettalong north of Sydney so that we could spend a few days with Flyn and Chris over Christmas. The weather started out perfectly , just as an Australian Christmas should be.

it was quiet before christmas day - but the crowds arrived soon after





We spent four days eating and drinking and shopping together – so much more fun  than a skype conversation.

don't blame the dogs for wanting a rest in the shade from the heat

Lots of families arrived at the beach ready to spend the day, including that traditional Christmas picnic lunch.


even the ducks wanted to share in the festivities 

Then we moved on to the next stop - the Hunter Valley . For those who don't know, this is wine country so I guess we will just have to try a few...


Bonne semaine mes amis
