Today I took Alice’s car for a drive to Ballina which is about 30 minutes away.  The route is quite easy and I got there no problem.  Then I had to find the Medicare building.  Now most of the buildings here are single storey and look like bungalows.  Also parking is mostly done at an… Continue reading Ballina – 8th February

Woke up this morning to another day of rain and showers.  Didn’t have any plans until about 1pm when I met Sarah and Joe at the Beach Hotel in Byron Bay.  I managed to get there without getting wet but just as I sat down with my cup of tea it rained!  I scrambled under… Continue reading Byron Bay – 7th February

This morning I had a lovely lie-in til 10am!  When I got up and saw Alice she asked me if I wanted to come with her to take Elsie to a play area for the morning.  I had 15 minutes to get showered and dressed! And so the day began. Circus Arts is an activity… Continue reading Byron Bay – 6th February

By the time I had woken up, had breakfast, hoovered the lounge and showered it was time for my waxing appointment.  My appointment was at Be Waxed and Be Tanned with Phoebe who was a very down to earth local girl.  She was able to tell me about some of the backpackers in Byron which will be… Continue reading Byron Bay – Tuesday 2nd Feb

Well, my morning started by being pulled out of bed by the postman knocking at the door – who had a parcel for me!  I opened it to find the cotton that I had ordered for Elsie’s throw.  I had to order it from the UK which seems silly but there you go!  And the… Continue reading Byron Bay – Monday 1st Feb
