Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Valentines Day 2012

Gosh!  What a day!  Adoring Husband was very adoring and planned a full day of fun and frivolity for us.

It all started when I awoke to find a Valentines Card on my bedside table which was beautiful and romantic and full of lovely words written by Adoring Husband.

We got ready bright and early and drove into The Bay, where we had a delicious breakfast at Aquavue on the water.

Our view over breakfast ...


Adoring Husband had eggs benedict with smoked salmon and I had a delicious fruit salad with sweet ricotta and a berry coulis.

After we had breakfast, we went for a stroll along the beach.  It was such a glorious morning!  Of course I took my camera for a walk as well.


It was such a fabulous day and I want to tell you all about it but I am so exhausted!  I will share all the wonderful details tomorrow, with photos as well, but for now I need to sleep.

Just had to come in tonight to let you know that it was a fabulous day :D

Nite all.
