Perth

Just had a few days away with M's daughter and her kids in Perth. Love the weather over there, much drier and the beaches are beautiful with the Indian Ocean making everything that perfect blue. We made a point every day to swim at Cottesloe, close to where M grew up. Also exploring Freemantle which was a hard town, where M's parents landed with their 6 kids and lived in refugee camps, sharing a bungalow with another family. Hard to imagine that now as its a cool town with great shops and cafes. Hard conditions but such amazing opportunities if you worked hard.

I still find it hard not to laugh about the fact that M is a grandfather. Perhaps its because I've known him for so long but he doesn't feel old enough... Or maybe its me!

Anyway lovely flight back watching movies and spotting other planes circling beneath us.
