75 minutes from Sydney and I’m landing at Mudjimba Airport on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. I’ve never seen so many babies in all my life as were on the plane. It’s good to see young families being able to enjoy holidays at the beach I suppose.
My brother Mark and Jenny have a new house overlooking Sunshine Beach just south of Noosa – so near to nature looking out at the sea but maybe too close to nature in the early morning being awakened by the cawing of old black crows and the screeching of black cockatoos outside my window.
Clear, clean waters of Sunshine Beach

Anne and Trev came up from the Gold Coast not knowing that I was the surprise guest. Seeing the prawns that Trev brought with him, that he had collected from the trawler man returning from a night at sea off the Gold Coast, was almost as exciting for me as Anne’s excitement and surprise at seeing me there.
You know how much I love my seafood (and my sister).

Mick, Would love some of those shrimp……looks terrific. You are going into a great season and we are looking forward to lots of snow and hot house tomatoes that taste like cardboard…….good on ya….
Give our best to Ann and Trevor. How is Mobie. Cheers Jim
Reminded me of family ‘do’s’ at the beach in years gone by. However, more importantly, reminded me of how much we take for granted, the beauty and bounty of everything on our own doorstep.
M,
In the family photo everyone is wearing a hat for sun protection except you which needs it the most. Some have it hot while we manage barely 9 centigrade here in London.
Enjoy!
Beautiful. Here is rain and clouds and cold !!! Would love to be able to get t a beach for the day…
Greg
Always admire you for the way you enjoy family and moments with friends. So lucky!
Hi Michael Thanks for photos as usual they are great. I made some genuine New York style Chopped Liver over the weekend would you like some. If you would let me know your movements tomorrow and you like it I will get some to you tomorrow. Love Enid
