Byron Bay

What a lovely beach town. Lots of older people here trying to retain their youth (no judgement lol) and heaps of youngsters. It’s all fancy boutiques selling linen clothing and smoothie bowls.

Ellis took the car a couple of hours ago to spend some time with his girlfriend, leaving Wade and I to fend for ourselves. Just back from a delicious Italian (again) where the cocktails were still $20 each, but very well made. We only had one, we ate a selection of smaller tapas-style plates and yet again, had a superb veggie selection, I am sure I’ve put on the weight I lost pre-trip!

Back at the hotel, where there is a self serve outside bar with either still or sparkling water on bar tap! It may only be 7.42pm but we are completely knackered and having a shower and early night tonight. Ellis will be here at 9.30am and we will say our sad farewells to the oldest child as we drop him off at his home before heading to the Gold Coast to visit Brad’s godmother, Cheryl, for 24 hours. Tomorrow will be tough, but it’s comforting to see him so settled.Läs mer
