Back from the beach

 Recently one of my classmates and I ventured to the beach for 10 days and during our stay we had a mini class reunion once again. As most of us are 77 or 78 it is becoming more of an effort to make the trip especially since it is becoming so busy on the Sunshine Coast as a lot of people have moved there. However, this time it was very quiet where we stayed and I was concerned for the small businesses there who must be doing it tough. The caravan park was quite full so there must be a few grey nomads still heading north from the southern states. 



We didn't see many pelicans this time for some reason. Perhaps the rain put them off. 😂




There were showers most days and, on the day of our class reunion, it just bucketed down. At least I was able to get a photo of this beautiful rainbow after one of the many showers. 




We tend to park the car in the garage once we get to the coast apart from our usual trip to Moffat Beach for a cup of coffee. The rock wall still isn't finished there unfortunately. 





I took quite a number of walks to the shops where I didn't get wet from the rain and came across a lovely bakery which was selling these cakes so I had to take a photo for my teenage granddaughters as they do most of the cooking. They obviously don't take after me. LOL!




The sand that was dumped at Caloundra in the last few years due to storms and cyclones is still there and it is still possible to walk across to Bribie Island. There were young people playing cricket in an area which used to be under water. I wonder what it will look like in years to come. 

I hope everyone who reads this is keeping well and happy. I am at an age where classmates are passing away and we have lost five of them in the last couple of years. I am trying to keep as fit as I can motivate myself to be using the workouts on BeMobile which is designed for people 55 years and over and they have excellent exercise physiotherapists helping older people worldwide to improve their bone density and also have cardio and balance workouts too. 

Have a great week everyone.

  1. Hello Chel, I'm glad to hear you are still visiting the Coast, hasn't it all changed. I was with S at Maroochydore a few months ago and getting around on the roads sure is different these days. I'm going to have a look into BeMobile as I need to be more active too. Take care for now, perhaps a catch up soon? Barb M

  2. Barb, a catchup sounds good. I think our days of going to the Sunny Coast are over unfortunately. Chel
