Those who live 'on the peninsula' in Sydney refer to it as 'God's country'. I not sure exactly what the boundaries of this heavenly area are but I assume it extends from Manly through to Palm Beach. A friend has had a weekender house at Palm Beach since 1984 and I have enjoyed the delights of the area on occasions since then. Sadly the house is up for sale so there won't be many more relaxing visits there for me. Even just a day spent there - as I did last Sunday - provides a rejuvenation of the spirit.
We often ate our BBQs - here we are last Sunday - on the back deck which is set into the side of the hill behind the house and sits above the roof line. Two Golden Retrievers wait expectantly for left overs.
Last Sunday was a hot, cloudy and steamy day. It rained lightly at times whilst we ate but not sufficently to drive us inside.
Looking over the roof line we had this gorgeous view of Pittwater.
I'll miss our get togethers there.
Looks lovely. How long a journey is it from your place?
ReplyDeletewcs - just on an hour's drive. (Sydney is a big place.)
ReplyDeleteHow selfish of your friends to sell the house. Whatever happened to obligation to friends?
ReplyDeleteThey got their desserts, Andrew. The house was passed in at auction yesterday.
