A Week in Sydney







We've just got back from a lovely week away in Sydney. We managed to pack up the rain and take it with us and solve the NSW drought! It rained nearly the whole week and it was also very cold - especially for those of us who took mostly t-shirts to wear! We stayed in Manly on the beach in a great homely apartment. We caught up with friends Niamh & Ewan who recently married in Scotland so it was great seeing all their wedding photos and catching up on their news. Of course we did lots of shopping (not much else to do in the rain...) We enjoyed shopping at Ikea again - and Emma finally has a table to match her little chair she's had for ages. In fact nearly everything we bought was for Emma... We did visit the kangaroos and koalas at a wildlife park and Emma had a ball trying to chase them as well as some other wandering children!
Some sad news to come home to though - our darling cat Ruby had been run over and killed while we were away. Very sad cos she was our first pet and we couldn't of asked for a nicer cat for Emma - she tolerated Emma's not so gentle pats and her fascination with her whiskers! Emma's first word in the morning is usually 'cat' so she will be very sadly missed.

So sad about your cat ....It's not nice to lose the furry friends of the family so unexpectedly!
