Last Days

With the departure of Rachel and Nic on Friday and Zac and Jan on Saturday we are back to three. It is always sad when the kid’s leave, we miss having them around.

It is strange that wherever we are we tend to develop rituals, ways of doing and being. Now that we are three again we have returned the caravan to its ‘three people set up’, with our stuff in particular places inside and out. Yesterday was spent washing and drying, clothes, towels and wet suits. Luckily there was sun until the late afternoon. We packed away stuff that will not be used now the kids are gone. Colin and Johanna surfed out the front enjoying the slow rolling waves. We walked along the beach and sat on the deck, soaking up the warmth of the sun while it was out.


Late afternoon we headed over to Brunswick Heads, always dear to us. We walked again on the jetty and were treated to a beautiful rainbow,


we stood and watched the waves roll onto the long stretch of sandy beach


and I watched the sun set


as Colin and Johanna headed back to the local pub with friends from here to catch some live music and soak in the ambience that is Brunswick Heads.

We are into our last days now, another sojourn coming to an end.
