Like sands through the hour glass ... memories at Bondi Beach

A beautiful day at Bondi Beach today ...

... leaning on the rail at the top of Campbell Parade, listening to the hum of the grader making patterns in the sand, the ozone fogging up our specs, smelling the aroma of the sea, watching the brown bodies heading into the surf ... and the memories ... it was spooky when I remembered the year I commenced school at Bondi Beach Public School ...

... so are the days of our lives!!!

Sunday Scribblings - # 90 Holiday Memories

A memorable holiday memory - 92 year old Dad, watching the the blue flames whooshing over the Christmas pudding courtesy of gas lighter and a slurp of Brandy ...
Savouring the flavour with lashings of Brandy Sauce as Dad spooned through his serve looking for a "threepenny or sixpenny bit". Dad gave it the thumbs up reckoning the pudding was one "One of the best!"

I didn't tell him how I'd modified Mum's fifty five year old recipe to be gluten free or that I'd included Cranberries ... everyone agreed it was sensaish!
