It was unfortunate that we had such a short time on the Gold Coast but we managed to squeeze breakfast with Jan & John (Mark's parents) and Ellen & Nicholas (Mark's neice & nephew. It was a lovely relaxing way to start the day and great to see them all looking well.
Next up was a quick stop at Burleigh Headland to see the beach (an old childhood haunt). The water was so calm which is very rare there. It is still a beautiful spot which you can see from the pic attached.
Back at Mum & Dad's for Mum's birthday lunch. A 'great' afternoon was had by all. Mum wanted an Italian long table lunch. The table was looking a bit posh and the initial ambience was enhanced by an accordian player .... such fun seeing some get into it so early dancing and clapping along to the music. We ate many courses and drank many many bottles of Italian wines and liquers. The winner was the Limoncello (with Tina in particular!)
Below are photos of all the family who could make it. There were about 5 missing. I couldn't resist including the photo of the table with the garden looking so beautiful and green. Also love this photo of my 3 sisters and I having a great laugh with Mum.
