[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 149135, member: 1991"] G'day, people. We've had glorious weather her yesterday and today. It was so warm I went to church today in my summerweight linen pants and a singlet top. There was a warm breeze blowing across the water, the sun was shining and people on the beach were swimming and flying kites. Later I went back down for a farewell party for a lovely old lady who used to babysit for us when the kids were little. I took easy child 2/difficult child 2 with me; difficult child 3 had already gone down by himself, thinking I was already there! The lady was at times in tears because she is moving a long way inland to the country, a town on the edge of the outback, into a retirement village near her family. She said she will miss our church on the beach. "Can I take it with me?" she asked jokingly. "Funny you should say that," said the preacher. And he handed her our gift - it's a lovely framed photograph taken from a boat just offshore. It shows the clean sweep of beach with turquoise-coloured sea, and the freshly-renovated building with the lawn in front. They've put the church's text into the picture (written it in the strip of sea, in the photo) so she'll always have it with her. The look on her face was priceless. She will be back for visits, she said. I do hope so, she's been living in our village off and on for 20 years. It's a place that's very hard to leave. Tonight the warm breeze was blown away by strong cold winds from the south. It's been snowing already on the southern alps (10 cm of snow) so winter is definitely here. It's also one of the two nights a week when I can water my garden, I'd better go do it because there's only a couple of hours left when it's permitted. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
