Hello! i know its been a while. but that means I've got more to go on about - so here you go! Petrol smells different here! It has the hint of normal petrol, but its got other things going on with it to - not sure if I'm a fan. Still no good chippy chips either :( Anyway, we went to Nelson Bay the other weekend - it was our anniversary so Glen took me on a surprise trip. Nelson bay is one of the areas around the resort of Port Stephens. Had a sunny day on S...

I had my first go at bowls the other day! There are greens at pretty much every pub (!) and so Glen got his bowls out and we went for a "roll-up". I was rubbish, but it was good fun. Brian won in the end by knocking Glen's bowl out of the way - Glen was unimpressed. And then it was my birthday - 25! Ahhh!

Ended up running the ferry and the only pub in the area - became a local hero hence the name of the town. Beautiful area, and we picnic-ed there for lunch. The...

Apologies for moving the blog over, but the other one would only let me have 40 photos! Which was not going to be enough. I hope this one is ok for everyone. We've been here over a week now, and the sun has been out for 5 days straight! Yeh! On Monday, we went to The Entrance for lunch, and watched the pelicans being fed, which happens at 3:30 every day. There was One Wing, who lost a wing in a boat accident ten yr ago or something, and also a cheeky pelican th...
