Subject: RE: BS: Bill Sables in Sydney, Wednesday 7th
well I have just left them at the airport to head off to NZ....

Bill & Lorna as many have said before are a lovely couple... and were a delight to have staying (plus I now have a tin of Yorkshire tea living in my kitchen....

well.... after they arrived we headed to Bondi Beach, then to the Bridge and the Opera House........ then off up Sydney Harbour to Manly on one of the lovely old ferries....... nice drink in a Sydney pub... quick paddle.... and back onto the ferry for the return trip to Circular Quay...... home for a spot of dinner then off to the Shannon....

thanks to everyone who came along it was a good night....... lots of good tunes and songs.....

after that we headed back to town to Lady Macquaries Chair for a view of the bridge, opera house and city skyline by night with an almost full moon...... absolutely lovely..... had there not been a huge queue at Harry's Cafe de wheels we'd have had a pie floater too!!.... we crawled into bed about 2am!!

today after a well deserved lie in I took them to a friends house in the bush (Glenorie, Lorna in case you forgot the name)..... and had a lovely time looking at the bush scenery stretching out towards the blue Mountains...... then off to the airport again......

they had a really quick visit but as you see we fitted a lot in.....

Joybell they are looking forward to seeing you...... can you organise a kangaroo to bounce past... and a kookaburra to laugh... they haven't seen any yet? *grin*

hope to see you again soon bill & Lorna
