"The House"

Australia

"The trees retained their leaves, and shed their bark instead, the swans were black, the eagles white, the bees were stingless, some mammals had pockets, others laid eggs, it was warmest on the hills and coolest in the valleys, even the blackberries were red."
J Martin 1830s

New Year's Eve

Our final fling. Months of indecision paid off. We ummed and arrghed for ages about whether to spend a fortune on dinner in a fancy restaurant overlooking the harbour, go on a boat, watch the fireworks from the zoo................. It just went on and on.

In the end the solution was simple. I won 5 tickets to watch the midnight fireworks from the Cahill expressway (a road that goes just behind circular quay). We got Sham, Lisa and Penelope with all their possessions around for a dinner party, created purely from the contents of our cupboard (eating up), before just popping out to circular quay. Too easy! Even Howard had to admit it was perfect.



The next morning we packed Sham, Lisa and Penelope off to the airport on their way back to the UK.
