Hope you all had a good Easter. Our Good friday was spent going further south, whilst the majority of hoĺiday makers were heading North, bumper to bumper out of Sydney.
We weaved our way to west of the city to the cemetery where Chris’s late brother is buried, also met with his family there. After having a cuppa with them we got on the road again and headed further south. Thankfully most of the city trafic was heading North. So many, just moving, while we had a good run, arriving in Bomaderry about 4pm. What a lovely week we had in the Shoalhaven area. Stopping for 5 days with my childhood friend and her husband, in our home town. We were treated like guests on a cruise ship ! So appreciative of the effort they both put into giving us a great time. We went sightseeing, visited friends and ate out, Noelene and I also managed, some quick retail therapy. We are still kids at heart so took time for a fun photo with the Easter bunny.
I was also able to catch up on the washing, and lots of talking, and talking. The area has changed so much since we were kids. I think we had the best time, as a child of the 50s, way too populated now. The bush areas are now tar and cement, and of course a lot of the well known identities have passed on, but one 90 year old, that we went to visit, is still going, as strong as a 60yr old. So wonderful to see, homemade cooking for morning tea and reminiscing of times gone by.
Easter sunday we went to the club for lunch with my cousin and husband, then visited the Nowra cemeteries, where there are 5 generations of my family at rest. Talked into staying an extra day, on tuesday we had hoped that the holiday makers lad left the district, we went for a drive out to Huskisson and surrounds, we had a nice lunch there, but the place was still buzzing with tourists.
Before we knew it our stay had come to an end. so with a final hug and few tears,we said our goodbyes for now,
We left Bomaderry and headed out to Sussex Inlet, to stay overnight with another long time friend. Sussex is beautiful, with lots of waterways, a great place to retire and go fishing . I, just had to settle for a walk down to the river as the sun was setting. So peaceful.
That’s it for tonight, hopefully i’ll get more done tomorrow. bit hard to concentrate,while watching footy. Till then…..
