Escape

Nerida and Andy took the children to Newcastle for the weekend.  Well, Nerida was already in Newcastle for a conference, and Andy caught a train from work and Grandma handed the children through the train doors to him at Turramurra on on they travelled!  Nerida, Andy, Harrison and Bethany had a great time.  They went to the beach and an art gallery but the most exciting part of the weekend was room service (naturally!!)

Jon and I escaped.  We went on a great walk at Mt Banks looking over the Grose Valley.  It was so peaceful, we saw no other people and enjoyed the view and the silence,













 We stayed at a hotel in Bathurst. Not exactly inspiring, but the best I could at the last minute for the long weekend!  We went to the race track at Mt Panorama, where I drove Jon's "new" car for the first time!



We also visited the museum there.







On the way home we met Mark, Liz and Isaac at Oberon for a meal.  We picked some apples and rhubarb from Mark's mum's garden and made a yummy crumble when we came home.
