Weekend in Sydney




 
Finally something to put in my blog- I am in trouble with my mother for being slack with my blog- at least I have more stuff in my blog than she does in hers!
Bill and I went to Sydney for the weekend and celebrated out 25th Wedding Anniversary- my how time flies. No matter how many times you have been Sydney Harbour certainly is spectacular and this time it was no different and the weather was just lovely and clear. It was 18 degrees, cool for Sydneysiders but for us Canberraites it was almost tropical.
 
We spent Saturday night with Bill's cousin and had a lovely time catching up with family. On the Sunday morning we went in to the John Laffin Memorial Lecture at Randwick Army Barracks. The first talk was by Michele Bomford who had written a book about the Battle of Mont St Quentin on the Somme during WW1. She and Bill had been in contact and in her lecture she talked about Eric Frost (Bill's grandfather) and showed some of his photos. It was very interesting and quite special as Eric's daughter (Thela) was there along with his grandson (Bill) and granddaughter (Jocelyn).
 
Bill had taken off Monday so he and I stayed in the city at the Sir Stamford at Circular Quay Sunday night to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
