We have now been in Sydney for one week and spent the majority in the city that is very very impressive.
The things we have liked is in Hyde Park the sign at the entrance reads.
Please walk on the grass, please have your picnics on the grass, please smell the roses, feel free to hug a tree or a flying fox..
These were all can do rules, rather than not allowed rules.
We liked that.
When we arrived in Sydney we came through the airport customs and were to be met by Anoushka and Josh.
We wanted to make the right impressions as we had not met Josh before.
Maria decided that she would wear a pair of her best knickers on her head and have bunches out the leg holes and wear her dame Edna sun glasses. I was to wear my snake skin John Lennon hat [ jaunty]and take lots of photos of Maria as we came into the arrivals lounge. As we went through customs check point the officer looked but did not say anything. To our amazement there were many spectators but no Noosh and Josh. All of a sudden I wondered if we were suitable dressed.
About 10 minuets passed and they arrived. That evening they took us for a lovely meal over looking the Sydney harbour bridge. Had the best lamb ever.We have since been over to Noosh and Josh's home and had Anoushka Lawson and Josh cook an exceptional meal with oysters giant prawns and lamb cutlets. Lovely.
Yesterday we met up with our brother in law Chris's, sister Ellie and husband Jim who came here some 20 years ago. We spent a great day together telling old story's of things that had happened to Chris and Jackie and families. We laughed a lot about things Mrs Talbot had said bringing back many happy memories from the homeland. A picture tells a thousand words. See below.

Great to be digitally acknowledged in the annals of The G's blog! Our 15 gigabytes of fame there for all to see. I must say however, that Boswell seems miffed not to receive a mention - he's been walking around cross-eyed and snorting all day. See you soon. Josh
