I've managed to cobble together a vlog for you, can't promise I will next Sunday as the wifi is slow and I am just too happy and relaxed catching up with friends in my spiritual home - Byron Bay!

    When I mum was a young lass, my grandparents emirgrated to Australia for 4 yrs, and grandad being a carpenter helped to lay the original floor to opera house.
    Mum and dad spend 6weeks exploring Australia some 15yrs ago and walked up high on the bridge, they tried looking for the house she lived in, but it's been turned into a highway unfortunately.
    Enjoy your stay and hope it warms up for you. Xxx ❤

    Loved your vlog!! I only spent a couple of days in Sydney but I visited the Rocks and found a fab restaurant, took a ferry under the bridge and round to Darling Harbour and visited the same gorgeous shopping Mall (it was all decked out for Christmas). So you really made me feel I was visiting again. Hope your Auntie is doing well.

    happy to say it is still Autumn here in Australia, though we had some really cold spells when it snowed in the Snowy mountains a week or so ago. Hope you're enjoying your time, Suzi. Your view which you said was Macquarie Park was an area called Barangaroo and the tall building is the "Crown" built by James Packer :) PS. I recommend a ferry ride to Cockatoo Island PPS. Love the new Sydney Modern art gallery! We went last year in Dec when it first opened

    Suzi - when you're back home and de-jetlagged would you do a vlog on how (and with whom) you book your holiday to Oz please - it would be so helpful. The apartment hotel you're staying here looks gorgeous - and that view! Please carry a tiny battery charger with you in your bag so you can top up your battery on the go - would save you so much worry. So glad your Auntie is well. Look forward to the next installment of 'Suzi Does Oz'. xx

    • @AlternativeAgeing
      @AlternativeAgeing  Před rokem

      Hi Susan, thanks so much for your lovely message. And yes I will indeed give you the details and tell you how I booked it all myself so that I could cancel at the last minute after Jack throwing a sicky before my aborted trip much earlier this year! I do have various chargers but the problem is I can’t film with a charger inserted very easily. Will ask Apple for help. See you week after next as I am flying home end of this week and won’t be fit for anything for a few days. Hope you saw my recent Short! x

Poor soul couldnt lift her head, Suzi and cousin to the rescue ❤ Loved the modern part of the gallery. Aboriginal art is wonderful. I went to the exibition when it was on at the RA in London. I have a lovely wool scarf my friend bought me with a painting embroidered on it. (Not by the artist) l hope darling Jack isnt missing you too much. Thanks for sharing your travels, love Alioban 💖🐕

      Thank you Jane, I spoke to her tonight, she is staying strong as always
      but not settled properly yet into her Respite yet. So I hope she settles soon and joins in with the other residents as they have a lot of fun things to do. I worry about her mental health far more than her physical health. I went to see the Australian Ballet Company who did a three parter called Jewels. It was amazing. I am really
      enjoying my holiday now in Byron catching up with all my friends. Weather not so great as it’s proper winter but the rains seem to be staying away for the rest of my trip! xx
