This weekend I went to John Howard's favourite holiday town, Hawk's Nest. Elissa's parents have a house up there. It's a beautiful little seaside town up just beyond Newcastle, with lovely sandy beaches and sand dunes, beaches with surf, beaches with calmer waters for swimmers, and a golf course which seems to be the focus of the community. On Saturday afternoon, we arrived and headed to the golf club for a drink, and then headed home for dinner. Vivian, Elissa's mother, had put together an excellent lamb roast, and Col, Elissa's father, sat and talked about Australian and British politics while we waited for it to be ready.
We drank a few bottles of wine between us, and played a game of Scrabble. (I've got the board in a photo somewhere, as a sly wink to a friend). Elissa's mum wasn't feeling well, so she went to bed before the game finished, but shortly after that, their neighbour called us and we went out to see a brush tailed possum feeding next door.
The following morning we went out onto the sand dunes. I've got a couple of photos of that somewhere (I really hope to add these later...). Elissa and I spent a very relaxing afternoon on the beach, including burying me in the sand and giving me a very shapely mermaid's body. We headed back to the house for dinner and then drove home.
