My husband despairs of me sometimes. If I am 'good' he will actually say that I behaved well. If I am bad we end up not speaking for an hour or so at the end of the journey.<BR/>I went on a short trip with a friend a couple of weeks ago in her 4 wheel drive she couldn't believe how nervous I was. I have every sympathy with you.<BR/>Your photos of Sydney are lovely. The Lion Garden looks so magical, I would love a garden like that. How lucky to live in Balmain, it is very fashionable and much sort after. Beautiful post. Thanks for sharing your day out.<BR/>JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-55949990510295483942007-11-05T06:59:00.000+11:002007-11-05T06:59:00.000+11:00I don't miss it but I do love revisiting there are...I don't miss it but I do love revisiting there are still shops we know well - particularly for food!<BR/><BR/>My son Will spent the first five years of his life there and was spoiled rotten by the shop keepers.

Those purple blooms on the tree were beautiful. (I actually clicked on that one to get a better view).<BR/><BR/>I drive best by myself. Ha ha. I don't mind being the passenger and I love to ride when anyone is driving. I just look out the window and watch the scenery go by. Some people sleep when they ride.. but not me.. I don't want to miss a thing.<BR/><BR/>SG, I'm sure, enjoyed the trip. I always loved taking my grands along. Seeing things from their point of view made it even better!!ancient onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996555276368371467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-28372883359368194982007-11-04T10:49:00.000+11:002007-11-04T10:49:00.000+11:00Hi,Joyce It is Balmain, not exactly a tourist dest...Hi,<BR/>Joyce It is Balmain, not exactly a tourist destination, but lovely even so.<BR/>H & B, Gom is actually a good driver- I am just a really bad passenger!<BR/>Mary, It is a small world!
