Rose Bay, Sea Plane
September 13 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Wow, what a day, Ben & Jaqcui treated Martin to a sea plane adventure, for his birthday, and I got to go along, too. We had to be in Rose Bay for 10.15am and took off at 10.45. It was very different to flying, but brilliant all the same. The pilot gave a running commentary of what was below us, and the views were fantastic. What a fabulous day, thank you Ben & Jaqcui 😍😘Read more
TravelerWow, that looks amazing 😍 The boy did good ❤️ beautiful views and a fantastic experience Xx 🥰 Happy birthday Pops, hope you have an amazing day xx 🎉🎁🎂🎈🍻🥳

Martins 70th Birthday
September 15 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C
It was a momentous day, not only Martins 70th but Ben's first day as a business owner. He was up and out at 5am in his brand new van. We had a great day, Jaqcui and Molly walked to the boat shed, botony and we caught the bus. Met up and had lunch. Gem fish and chips piled high, enough for 6 of us it was huge. We went off and walked around the fortress, Jaq walked home. When ben got home, we went for Steak & Ribs 😋 We now find out our superstar granddaughter #3 Faye, who has been awarded star of the week at school. Well done Faye that's a great achievement 👏 👍 very proud of you. 😘🥰Read more

Lunch at the Boat Shed
September 23 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Jaqcui & Molly were out all day today with their mums group, so we decided to jump on the bus to Botony and lunch at the bost shed. We had a lovely lunch, a bucket of prawns!! We walked along to the fortress then and down to the sea shore, watching the fishing. Had an ice cream on the cliff top and walked back to the bus stop.
Ben came home early, and we all took Bobby out for a long walk. Great day.Read more

Day out in the City
September 27 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Breakfast out of the eay and Bobby walked, we set off for a day in the city. We got the train from Waterloo then the metro, 20 mins, and we we're in Berangeroo. We walked along the waterside and towards the ferries, stopping for a lovely lunch. We retraced our steps and walked along the rocky water front towards the harbour bridge and then around the cruise terminal, where we sailed into 2 years ago on Arcadia. We had a coffee and fed & changed Molly, then headed back on the metro & train. We were all tired as it was 29 degrees in Sydney today, and all except Molly were ready for a nap 😴 we all took it in turns to persuade Molly it was time to sleep before her next feed at 7pm! Another great day in Oz.Read more
TravelerMaking the most of it 🙃

Traveler Wow how Molly has grown in the little time you've been visiting she looks lovely in her sunglasses with her proud Dad x

TravelerYou're so right Bren, being here for so long, we have noticed changes in her every day. She is still so Ben, though! Loves her food and sleeps well 💕

TravelerFascinating building structures and views of the harbour and bridges. I’m sure you each walked your feet off but that’s the only way to enjoy your surroundings. I’m sure Molly was oblivious to all of it …. She is going to miss you both spoiling her when it is time to leave. Such proud Great Grandparents and Ben is loving his role as Dad. Xxxx
