Strolling on the Strand

What a picturesque scene - the sun shining brightly, glittering like jewels in the sea; the water, a brilliant blue; the breeze, just a refreshing temperature so that it cools but does not make one feel cold; people, laughing, playing, sitting, talking, strolling...

After church this morning, we enjoyed such an atmosphere down by the waterfront area called “The Strand” and we enjoyed being two families sharing a picnic and time together.

For those who may have missed a post, we are staying with friends in Townsville and they have children of a similar age to ours, though they have twins as their eldest (having 5 in all).

It has been such a pleasant interlude to life in a caravan and a wonderful reminder of the bonds of fellowship that extend between us.  We haven’t seen eachother for four years but the kids have renewed their friendships and we parents have tried to pick up where we last left off.

Townsville is such a lovely place to be at this time of year!
