Gracie’s Life Experiment

Another pretty soggy day again!!! Poor Mum and Howell have had such rubbish weather all holiday. Not only has it been wet, it’s also been cold too. Brrrrrrrrr. There was a short break in the rain in the afternoon so we decided to get out of the house for hubby’s last day off work. We went down to Gymea. First stop – the Hazelhurst Galleries. Bugger – they’re changing the display tomorrow so the gallery itself was closed. Decided we didn’t really just want to go to the gift shop and cafe so moved on. Went down to the Camelia Gardens. As we got there the weather became glorious. As usual, I totally forgot that it closes at 4, so we whizzed round in less than an hour. Actually the nicest part was the part at the bottom just outside of teh park. There’s a lovely waterfall going down into Gymea Bay with loads of ducks (and really cute fluffly ducklings at this time of year). The weather changed again and pissed it down as we got back to the car. We made a quick stop at Nina’s Chocolates and spent ages deciding what chocolates to get. They were all so beautiful, but expensive ($8.60/100g) so we had to really agonise over which ones to pick.
