| surf anyone ? |
Back in Sydney after a year and half
away. The sunshine and big blue skies are a shock after wintry grey France.
Everything is so bright and colourful and busy.

| Yes, I am the shortest in my family |
Went to Manly for lunch with the kids. For
those who don’t know Sydney, Manly is a suburb on the northern side of the
harbour with an ocean beach on one side
and the harbour on the other . It was named this after the very masculine
looking (manly) men of the tribe that lived here when the first fleet arrived.
Now it’s full of sun worshippers and people who ‘lunch’ and you need lots of
money to live here.
 |
| Norfolk pines line the beach front. They were once used as masts on sailing ships as they are so tall and straight |
 |
| Ribs and Rumps - says it all really |
After lunch we took a walk along the
waterfront to the more secluded Shelly Beach.

 |
| coffee shop on the boardwalk - tees ??? |
 |
| Manly version of vide grenier - selling off a collection of surfboards |
 |
| waiting patiently for the right wave |
 |
Obviously the signs work - everyone does protect the wildlife - this guy wasn't bothered by people passing by on their walk

| The view from daughter's front door - that's Manly in the distance. Why wouldn't you live here ? |
This is just the second day so lots more
to share. More posts to come .
Joyeux Noël mes amis
