To wake up to this view every morning is just so stunning. I could never get used to this view or to the sounds of the crashing surf! It feels as if it is going to be hot today? It has rained during the night and there seems to be a mist….maybe steam rising 20 feet high above the edge of the sea and all the way around the coast? I note the temp in London is 3C at the moment?
Blair and I met up with Issie and her son James and very soon bride to be, Felicity at Ash’s Café for Sunday Brunch. It was lovely to see James and Blair chatting very easily just the way we did all those eons ago before we were married! It had been Felicity’s “Hen” night last night but she was bright and breezy and ready for a run/swim after brunch settled.
Hey I also met someone there I knew! Nadine (Opera House companion!) was having brunch with some of her friends before snorkling on Shelly Beach.
Blair and I then took the ferry across to Sydney to go the Museum of Contemporary Art. An incredible exhibition of Annie Leibovitz’ Work, A Photographer’s Life 1990 – 2005, a real mixture of professional commissions and family photographs sharing some very personal and emotional times in her life. You may remember some of her photographs, John Lennon and Yoko Ono just a few hours, before he was shot, a very pregnant naked Demi Moore on the cover of Vogue. She is some lady, a real "genius", in the true meaning of the word ..... a very good vintage of course. A beautiful book with same name has also been published, I think on my shopping list when I get home! The exhibition has been in Europe but if ever comes to Scotland I would highly recommend it and certainly go again!
