Wet wet wet

We flew to Sydney on Friday but before we left we had to make sure the toilet cistern didn't fall right over in our absence so what better use for the paints in the boxes





I went to a lovely exhibition in Balmain - thanks to Cindy for inviting me, and caught the ferry back






And under the you know what - it was lovely on the harbour






Sunday we drove to Woollongong through the national park - wonderful drive it was - caught up with varsity friends from many years back







In the morning the weather changed somewhat while we were meandering around the lighthouse











And then got worse but it's only rain! And what I haven't heard since I was a little girl





We visited the Buddhist temple - beautiful grounds and drove to Berry because we decided to be central and divert from there if roads were opened etc







We are staying up at Drawing Rooms of Berry in a beautiful spot where I simply love the magnolias - we have two little gem ones at home - the white flowers - but I love these ones






Yesterday lots of roads were under water so we explored Berry and a winery - we have been indulged with a beautiful breakfast - would recommend this place to anyone - and lovely owners as well







The view from our balcony once the rain has gone and the clouds lifted





And another







Red parrots enjoying themselves while we eat breakfast





And some stitching

Now - off to explore
