Back in 99, when we came home for Christmas, five days after our arrival, my Mum had a small stroke, and within five weeks, Lucy's Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, so we've always been a little wary of coming home during the Christmas period, but as both of our Mums were healthy, we through caution to the wind and made the effort.
From Singapore, we jumped on separate planes, Lucy's went to Melbourne, whilst mine went to Sydney, and from the moment I arrived, it was one big catch up fest
I did walk around the city a fair bit, and not much had changed. It's funny, Sydney is the biggest city, but compared to London, it is so slow and small !!!
I could bore you with my story of Sydney, but instead, here is a list of the people I saw and hung out with
Eli
Zac
Zonth
Marlene
Josh
Daf
Mrs Poignand
Wazza
Clarky
Lisa
Lara
Mrs Bohle
Peta
Matt
Woggy
Shane
Juno
Guy
Mrs Swinton
I did manage to get many free lunches and dinners, but that is the Jewboy in me !!! But in some ways, the highlight was seeing Lisa and Lara. Lisa was married to my best friend who was killed in 03 when Lara was one week old, and it was good to finally meet her.
There is also sadness, as I found out whilst there that had been deaths of parents, parents who I liked, but hey, that is one of the problems of living overseas !!!
So that was Sydney, and I am going to come back soon as I found that I was more homesick than ever before !!!
