This is the house Colin & I celebrated our 30ths in last weekend, about 1.5hr north of Sydney on the Central Coast. In appropriately 30 degree heat we spent a couple of days eating, drinking, surfing, pooling and jacuzzing and apparently breaking a $450 pond pump, which we dispute was our fault…
The weekend before Mark & Collette came up from Melbourne (they’ve just moved there from Vancouver & you may remember their hilarious blog ) and we had an epic day on the 14th (day before my actual bday) which started at 5am in the Bondi Hotel to watch England beat France… unbelievable. The pub was packed at that time & there must have been 200 French to about 50 English. What a sweet, sweet victory – I won’t forget chanting ‘au revoir, au revoir, au revoir’ to the rapidly departing French contingent as all the English went mental when the final whistle blew. Even Stace nearly joined in! As far as the RWC went it was nearly as good as beating the Wallabies the week before, which we watched in Notting Hill just prior to flying back from our trip home.
