Cloudy beach day

Jess and I took Jasper to music class before Jess went back home to Melbourne two weeks ago and after class Jasper said "no go home mummy, lets go to the beach." And like dutiful servants off we went down to Balmoral, a lovely harbourside beach on the north side of Sydney Harbour. The weather was windy and cool, early spring weather - we have had quite strange weather patterns this year from heatwave to freezing over periods of days (it snowed in Melbourne last night but was over 35degrees celcius the other week!!) - so jess and I felt a bit chilly, but jasper's two year old body demanded that naked was the only dress code acceptable.


He even decided to swim and so jess and I with rolled up trousers, swung him through the waves, his little body skimming the whitecaps, and his laughter infectious. We played on the sand, build castles and tunnels and went for a great walk along the waters edge. It was Jess's last day, and she was going back for a job interview, so it was so great to spend such a carefree day all together. Needless to say, Jasper slept ALL the way home, and two days later, Jessi got the job! She is now Landscape Architect for the City of Stonnington in Melbourne.
