CRONULLA BEACH

We've been in our new home at Miranda for a week now. We've survived very heavy rainfall a lot of  the time.  I've managed to take Sally out for walks inbetween the showers. The rain eased off yesterday and I went for a lovely long walk along the cliffs at our now local beach Cronulla. It was fabulous walking amongst the Shirefolk of all ages jogging, walking with strollers, dogs, friends.  Everyone enjoying the sunshine and making the most of it.  I stopped at a dog friendly cafe on the way back and was entertained by 2 of the regular retirees who swim there every day, then have coffee and read their papers before heading off  to their hectic retiree schedule.  I promised to catch up with them again next week. 

The place was buzzing with the annual trials for Shark Island surfers competition.  Photographers and  stalls and on-lookers filled the clifftops surrounding Cronulla.  The hopefuls were in and out of the water, hoping to catch the right wave to get them noticed by the talentspotters.  It as all so fascinating to watch.

We're enjoying being close to the beach and going for long walks along the dogs off leash are as often as we can.  Sally's enjoying  her new lifestyle and meeting up with lots of new doggie friends.

Dick finishes work on 30th June so we're heading off on our new big adventure officially on 1st July - which appropriately enough is our 33rd wedding anniversary.  We're going to one of our favourite spots at Budgewoi for 1-2 weeks.
