Summer Bay

Hey there folks

Well Gav is away working in a place called 'Yas'(bit of a weird name!) this week and has left me with the task of posting on our blog. So what have we been up to in the last couple of weeks? Hmmm, working, working and more working. However, we have had time to have fun and have been to a lovely wedding to see our new Oz friends Jen and Steve get married. It was a really wonderful day and we were very honoured to have been invited. I have also baked a huge Christmas cake which we will probably have to give out to the street as we will never be able to eat it all. Don't know what I was thinking but Gav seems happy that there will be lots of cake for him. For those who don't know about him and Christmas cake I will enlighten you. When he was a wee boy his mum went to get the Christmas cake she had baked a couple of weeks before Christmas to decorate it but she couldn't find it. Christmas came and went but there was no Christmas cake that year. One day she was cleaning his room and low and behold under his bed she found a half eaten Christmas cake. So don't ever leave Gav alone with your Christmas cake!

Last weekend we took a trip to The Northern Beaches of Sydney which was great fun. The weather was fab and the sea was nice and warm. The big bonus was we went to Palm Beach which is also known as Summer Bay! This is where home and away is filmed and Gav was like an excited schoolkid, especially when he saw the club house with the name A. Stewart on it. He also put on his old labcoat and did a handstand in the sea to celebrate graduating as a Dr. If we had been in Scotland he would have been graduating and so this was how he celebrated.... I didn't ask why, I just went along with it and took the pictures!

Hey Mum and Lizbeth

Gav snuck that lab coat in this bag when we left Scotland. He insisted on bringing it as it would be good to take random shots with it on!!! I am actually not sure what happened to the other half of the Christmas cake. Will have to ask him when he gets home.
