Beach trips
Today has been sunny and hot (high 20's) so it's been a day by the beach and pool. We drove Caroline and a friend to Freshwater Beach, then Sue, Rebecca and I found the small Castle Rock Cove that we'd spotted the previous week on our Manly walk. We had to park at the end of a residential cul-de-sac and then took the steps down the cliff to the beach, which wasn't too crowded, although most of the people there seemed to have come from boats that were just moored offshore. It was a lovely place for a bit of sun and a gentle swim without the heavy surf, so we spent several hours there before coming home for a swim in the pool and an evening barbie.

Laura remained at home today as she had overdone the sun yesterday when she went to Curl Curl beach with some friends. The rest of us had gone for lunch with Ro and Arthur (relatives of friends from Crowborough) who lived up near Whale Beach and had a pleasant few hours there.
