~ The Trouble Is ~


The trouble with living in Australia is there are so many beaches and so little time! Our caravan is calling and we are off for a break to Lennox Head on the NSW North Coast. Lot's of beaching and thrifting ahead over the next week. Promise I will be back soon with stories and goodies to share. Take care. Simone xx

    Hey Simone, Don't forget to visit Ross and Eva at Heath's Old Wares in Bangalow if you get a chance, just off the main street, They have mountains of stuff, be sure to say hello to them for me and that I said you need VIP service, haha, Eva knows everything there is to know about local shops in the area and she loves to share her knowledge, Have fun cheers Katherine

    Oh that does sound nice. We have a caravan also but ours is vintage, very orange vintage and whilst I love vintage..orange is not my favourite colour in the world, I am however learning to work with it and turquoise is not bad with it. We shall wait until the weather is cooler to go travelling, it is too hard to leave the beautiful beaches where we live while the weather is so good.
    Have fun.

    Oh lucky you, my best friend lives in Lennox Head. Tip: 1.Take the kids to the boat channel, it's very safe for swimming.
    2. They make great coffee at the surf club near the lake.
    3. Take the walk to Boulders, via the cliff lookout at the Point.
    Have a great time, and give my love to Lennox.
