En kväll i rosa skimmer
Inte trodde jag att det skulle bli en kväll med rosa skimmer – bokstavligen. Kom hem och det är helt rosa utanför – och ständig förändring av ljuset.
A morning of Smoke and Haze over Sydney
The first sunlight showed a lovely blue sky and the city view clear and pink, but after about an hour we felt the smell of smoke and then the haze came in. Plan was to go and take a nice photo of the bridge in the haze after breakfast, it looked very nice from the flat.
When we did go for a walk, the smoke had thickened alot and we could not even see the city or the bridge from our normal view point in Waverton.
The light was spectacular though and it felt like being around a Valborgsbrasa… Now two hours later, it is clearing around the flat, but we are still not able to see the city or the bridge.
Sailing in Port Stephens – April 2016
Niclas had a great weekend sailing the Port Stephens regatta. Four days of Sailing in light winds with sunshine and good company on Wailea.
There are plenty of dolphins in Port Stephens and we had many of them swimming next to the boat during one race.
Oliver Adventure Squad Sailing – last weekend for term 1

Visit to Barangaroo Park
One of the Easter days we visited Barangaroo Park, a new development in Sydney. The park is really nice and is opposite where we live in Waverton. We were fortunate that the weather was nice until we had walked around the whole park and were heading back home when the rain hit. Luckily we had one umbrella with us and were able to get into a coffee shop and have a ‘fika’ before heading home.

Jessicas last days in Australia
Jessica decided to move to Sweden for a while to see how it feels to live there. In the last days before leaving we had a family dinner, visited the beach and on the last day, Sanna and Jessica spent the day together before dinner at home and then off to the airport for a late evening flight.
Walk to Lavender bay and a visit to Wendys secret Garden
Niclas and Sanna went for an early morning walk to Lavender Bay on a nice Saturday morning. We ended up exploring Wendys secret Garden, which we had never fully explored. It was beautiful and we look forward to a picnic there with the kids one day soon.
And below are some pictures from within the garden:
