There weren't too many sunny days in Sydney when Mum was visiting, so when the sun came out on Sunday morning, we jumped at the chance to enjoy some beach time. We began with a walk along Manly beach where we spent time watching the kids delight in the waves crashing into Queenscliff pool. As we headed to Shelly beach for a swim, we came across Father Christmas who was arriving at the surf club to meet the little nippers. It's the first time I've seen the fat jolly man travel by surf boat! It was (only just) warm enough for a swim at Shelly beach but we didn't last long - the water at Shelly is normally free from waves and seaweed but due to the recent weird tides, there was a lot of seaweed being churned around in the (small) waves. After our quick dip, we ended our beach time with coffee and cake at the Sandbar right on Shelly beach. We arrived home just in time to watch the clouds roll in with a big storm on the way. So, unfortunately, the sunshine didn't last very long.
