My beautiful mother arrived back in February to see myself and Ray, while also seeing Australia and New Zealand. She said she always wanted to see this place and had discussed moving here a long, long time ago! She's been fantastic since she arrived from Hong Kong and we have loved having her here. She was pampering the lads from day one and of course they all adore the lovely Anne Keane. Who doesn't!!
I have put together a few photos here of her time so far with us. She is in New Zealand as I write this, and having the time of her life as usual I would guess lol
Myself, Matt & Dave brought her to the Blue Mountains. We had a great time! Lovely day, up early on the train and having breakfast in the mountains at 10. We walked around, got the cable cars and train. We got some great photos and finally did something touristy since arriving in Sydney.
Back in Sydney she met the lads at the harbour to see the historic passing of the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria ships. Amazing event and two of the biggest feats of engineerig to be seen on waters anywhere on the world.
Mum and I then took off for Perth to get the best weather of the summer here so far. It got up to 42 degrees while we were there would you believe. We loved the beaches and walking at night time. We had a few drinks here, a coffee there and had a relaxing few days.
Since then she has been to Melbourne which she loved. TOLD YOU SO MUM! Loads of little shops and arcades, cafes and evening strolling.
We'll be gutted when she leaves but it won't be too long until we see her smile again I bet :)
We meet up after work the first week for a beer & a chat
