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.
