Night before departure

Friday evening and we are at The Hilton Garden Inn at Terminal 2 Heathrow Airport after a good journey by taxi.  We checked in then did a trial walk to Terminal 3, despite being undercover it was very chilly but we now know where to go in the morning and how long it takes.  We had a delicious dinner and now for an early night before flight tomorrow. Hotel room comfy and quiet and Richard is very impressed by the large widescreen tv!

Freo seems to be settling in with Lisa and the boys and Lisa just text to say Lexi wants to play but Freo will not get out of her bed, this is her quiet time and at home she sleeps all evening, then all night, poor Lexi 🥲.

If I can put the photo on here, this is the view from our restaurant table and I was delighted to see a Qantas plane being loaded up.  What confused me is that we are at Terminal 2 and Qantas fly from Terminal 3 but if that is all that I have to worry about that’s good for me!  After feeling excited, anxious and nervous, we both feel relaxed and looking forward to tomorrow. Night all xx

We looked around and saw a few animals and birds we hadn’t seen on our last visit and walked in the kangaroo enclosure which as I said was huge.  We saw a couple of mum’s laying down resting and their...

Woodman Point Beach

We went to pick up Gavin from his house ready to go to the beach and I went to his door but on the driveway I was called by a guy from the development.  He introduced himself as Howard and obviously thought I lived at Gavin’s because he asked if he could have a look inside at how the owners had renovated it.  He explained he has had his property for 11 years but has let it out and lived in his other house in Coral Bay.  As he and his wife are getting older, 75 they decided to move back to Fremantle as it is more convenient for shops, doctors etc and wanted to renovate and had heard how Gavin’s landlord had knocked a wall down in the kitchen. It was so funny as he was so friendly, Gavin said it is typical of Aboriginal people, then he called his friend, a guy from Yorkshire to have a look too.  Gavin was great and showed them around and then Richard came searching for us as we had been so long, he had parked out on the road.  We eventually set off for the beach. ...
