2025   

living in two places

Since 2020, when the Covid Pandemic restricted life as we knew it, we live in two places.

We have a nice little flat in Balmain, an old harbour suburb of Sydney  and also a beautifully refurbished cottage at our daughter's property at the outskirts of Bellingen on the Mid-North-Coast. 

And there we are most the time now . It is much easier for very old people like us to live close to one of the children and get that bit of extra help. 

And there is a garden too, a great joy for me.

This year we will be 70 years together.

Maybe I should select some photos

of memorable moments of our life over seven decades.

 

After living 18 years in the Blue Mountains we made again a change. One of our daughters who also had lived in Katoomba with her family moved to the Mid-North Coast. So we decided to move back to Sydney and live in the little flat we owned in Balmain right at the waterfront. Now we were closer again to the rest of the now big family. We went often for extended periods to Bellingen, a beautiful little town near Coffs Harbour, staying with our daughter. When Covid restrictions made life in Sydney difficult we moved into a beautifully refurbished granny-flat on our daughter’s property. And I started a new garden.

Our 4 children and families, 11 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren visit us often.

And here we live now happily in our very old age.
