newcastle

We said our goodbyes to Byron this morning, another year's sojourn at an end. It was different and OK. We missed the kids not being here but being in a cabin rather than our van helped to make a break with the past. It is such a beautiful place.

A full days driving and we are at Newcastle tonight. Why not, we thought, we haven't been here before. We are usually driving past headed for home, intent on getting to a destination. Today Newcastle was the destination and tomorrow we had plans to explore a bit. A rainy forecast might require a slight change of plans - the walk and bike ride may not eventuate as we imagined. Oh well, what happens, happens...
