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:
Sanna and Niclas went to the Blue Mountains for a weekend to spend a night at the Palais Royale. Sanna had won the weekend away at the Xmas in July party at work.
We decided to take the train there, and we had a great weekend. The Saturday was warm and sunny. After lunch in Katoomba, we checked in at the hotel and then walked down to the Scenic world to have a look around. Ended up going on the steepest incline railway in the world.
Drinks at another iconic hotel in Katoomba, lovely Art Deco before dinner.
Waking up on Sunday morning, the cloud base was below ground and we decided on some changed plans for the day. Took the train to Wentworth falls where we found a nice Art Deco coffeeshop and bookshop to sit and ponder and have lunch at before heading back towards Sydney on the train.
Got off at Parramatta and took the ferry back to Sydney, down in the valley below the mountains the sun was shining.
In July, we were invited to a first birthday party for our friends son, James. They had a baby farm visit and Oliver had a great time with the rabbit.
After the party we went to a nice place along the coast and stayed the night followed by a lovely drive along the ocean on the way back.
On a sunny winters morning, we decided to go for an adventure with Oliver. Took the train to the city and then we caught the ferry over to Rose Bay. Here we went for a walk up to South Head, had a snack, watched the sea and then had lunch before returning to the city by ferry.
This weekend we went on a family outing to the Trees adventure at Groose River Park. The weather was great and we had an early start there, and the park was quiet. Only us five and three more people on the course. We had a great day together. Oliver, as a child, was only allowed on two of the courses. The rest of us climbed 1 or two more higher courses. Everyone had a great day out and we decided to do this again.
Niclas and I went down to the Northern Beaches for lunch one day after having dropped Oliver off at a friends house. We had not been down there for a while, and found a lovely lunch restaurant in North Narrabeen. Coffee on the beach, which was closed due to big waves.
In the afternoon, we went for a walk down to the Coal Loader centre in Waverton where there is an Art exhibition. 99 artworks exhibited in the park.
Today, Oliver went sailing for the third time at MHYC, where he sails an optimist. He enjoys going and gives us many entertaining explanations of what they have learned and how you sail.
The weather this past week has been lovely and warm and today Niclas and Sanna went to Chinamans Beach when Oliver sailed – the beach is just around the corner from the boat club and Oliver sails just outside the beach. It was nice to see how far he has come. And we managed to get some lovely photos after having had a nice long dip in the sea.
On Friday, I, Sanna, started working again. A 6-month contract as Project Administrator at North West Transit Link – the office is in the city for another month and then moves out to Macquarie park. More on the project to come next week.
On Saturday, when Oliver was away camping and Jessica and Fredrik was working, Niclas and I decided to go for a walk down to the North Sydney Pool and have a swim. It was a beautiful day and it turned out to be the warmest since we arrived.
From Waverton, past North Sydney and Lavender Bay and round Luna Park to the Pool – where we decided to keep walking around the waters. Continued under the Bridge, over into Kirribilli and then some.
Passed some Yacht clubs, saw some beautiful old wooden Skiff sailingboats and then ended up having coffee in Kirribilli Village before we went to the pool for some swimming.
All in all we did a 5.5 km walk (in 35c).
A few days ago Niclas and Sanna went for a walk to Waverton station, through the woods. Then a couple of days later, we took Jessica and Oliver on an evening walk to the same place. It is amazing to think that this is not far from where we live – we did take the train home one station.
Oliver and Jessica enjoyed the walk as much as we did.
Vi besökte Liljevalchs vårsalong en blåsig dag.
