When we got up this

When we got up this morning, we decided that we were long overdue for a day out. We looked out the window and the sky looked like this.

I kid you not, that is a picture of the sky here in Sydney this morning. So where did we decide to go?

To the beach! (Sorry Becky, I should have painted my toes to match my fingernails! ;)
To Cronulla Beach, to be precise. It's a very pretty beach. (This picture is clickable for a bigger view)

I may be biased, because I grew up in the Sutherland Shire, and went to Primary School in Cronulla. :)
However, now it takes an hour for us to get there. Anyway, so we set off, but we took a few detours. Several of those included showing Em the hospital where I was born, and my childhood home for several years. Which now looks completely different. I took some pictures of that for my mum, because she'll never believe it. It was a 2 bedroom fibro cottage with an outdoor toilet - and we were a family of five kids! Good Lord, my mother deserves a medal.
Anyway, it wasn't really warm enough for a day on the beach yet, but we had a great day anyway. Emily never lets a little thing like cool weather stop her :)

The sun was shining, we ate fish and chips and icecream, and I blew my diet entirely!
I did take my knitting, but the wind was blowing, and I didn't want to get sand in my sweater :)
So I'm off to knit now - I hope you all had a lovely and relaxing Sunday too.
