There is something both sad and reassuring about autumn: sadness that another summer has passed and reassurance that this is all part of the predictable cycle of nature and that summer will return.
Autumn invites us to reflect on life and reminds us that time is not standing still. It's a muffled cry of 'CARPE DIEM'
We've just returned from an overnight trip to Canberra and are back at "Riverbend" and counting our blessings to live in this beautiful and peaceful place.
Early-morning magic at "Riverbend". There is no better time in the day than early morning to fully experience the peacefulness of this very special place. Life is stripped back to its basics: simply being and breathing!
If it's Tuesday, it must be lunch at the Bay Bowlo! We always combine my Tuesday morning's volunteer work at the Coastal Patrol with lunch at the bowling club. Good value at $6.50 with a choice of at least eight different dishes: lamb's fry with mashed potato (my favourite!), fish 'n' chips, bangers and mash, some casserole, shepherd's pie, quiche, the ocassional mixed grill, and others. Washed down with a glass of riesling and the world begins to look a whole lot better!
Sunday almost gone and another Sunday too far away! It was a perfect autumn day: full of sunshine and deep blue skies.
Cool nights but during the day deep-blue skies and a mild, warming sun. Many regard this as the best time of year.
The MERINDA has just arrived in Nelligen and disgorged its tourists for their 1/2-hour stopover after which the village will return to its somnambulic state. The cruise, which leaves Batemans Bay at 11 am, takes three hours to Nelligen and back to Batemans Bay, and costs $27 for adults and $14 for children.
