Friday 13th December - Bateau Bay
Only 19.0 last night with a to of 25.8. Still on the cool side for Clive but I don't mind this weather. After a BIG sleep in, ( I think that the past few weeks of travel caught up with me), we made our way to my mum's gravesite at the Palmdale Memorial Park in Ourimbah. Just as we were leaving Clive called into the office and asked where the closest florist was. Clive had remembered that ages ago I said that I would like to get some pink roses to lay there.. He bought some beautiful pink roses and then we were on our way. Garmin found it easily, actually a lot quicker than I did back in 2005. The office was open, so they gave us a map of where she was located and bingo, we found her straight away. They have little plastic vases in bins here that Clive spotted, so he went and got some and filled them up with water. Some pliers from the tool box in the car and he cut the stems down and put then into these vases. A great idea rather than just lying them on the ground. It was lovely to be able to spend a bit more time here this time, as in 2005 the sun was setting and we were in a hurry. As we drove back we saw teddy bears sitting on a bench. One wonders what their story is? Then off back home for a sleep for me. The weather is still really good with a nice cool breeze.
