SUMMER SEASON

You can't take a bad photo at Cudmirrah. A beautiful spot.

Jim and Jan Smart relaxing. They are off on another cruise in Feb.

Barry Robertson and his son Dan (an engineer in Perth).

Also seen at Cudmirrah.... Beth Robertson (Barry's wife) and Jan Smart.

They seem to be enjoying themselves and are fairly relaxed.

Fay and I are still at Cudmirrah, except for when we're in Sydney for the NSW tennis or having a short romp down to Batemans Bay etc. Then in Feb we are heading to Port Macquarie for a Reunion of the 1961-62 group. (I know a number of these folk.)

Sorry I can't chat... gotta get back to the water. (Actually this Sydney weather is a bit warmish eh?)

Send me a Christmas photo I can put in the blog!
