Jan and Tom and Hillarys ...

I'm so far behind with my blog!  Too busy having fun in Oz morning 'till night, it will take a while to catch up, but bear with me ....

 Wednesday (13th Feb) we went to visit Tom and Jan at their home in Ballajura.  It was good to see them again and we spent a lovely few hours catching up over drinks and of course a bbq cooked to perfection by Tom.  Thank you both for your hospitality.

Thursday (14th) was another hot day as we travelled north of Perth

 to Hillarys

 where there are lovely man-made sandy beaches, a marina and shops!

After lunch at the 3 Sheets ...

 we continued to take in the sights and sounds ...

 of the area

 until it was time to head back home to my brother's home in Thornlie, Perth, WA

 heading south along the beach roads

 stopping every 10 minutes or so to look at the views over the

 bays and the Indian Ocean

 passing signs to Brighton, Torquay, Stirling, Scarborough, Wembley etc., 

 

reminding us of the many British people who came and settled here long ago.
