Delighted today to bring you an updated version of a post I first wrote three years ago. Dragonfly Cafe at Eden Gardens in Ryde really is a marvellously family friendly spot.

It’s going to be a slow and quiet day in the household today, well, for me at least. You can’t stop the bairns being boisterous, even on a sad day. One of the many beauties of children. Today a funeral is being held for our dear grandad and father-in-law Jim, in Ellon in the north […]

These days I add free and sometimes paid iPhone apps to that list. Local newspapers are the best though, from […]
Who’s visited Jamberoo, the huge water park two hours south of Sydney, inland between Wollongong and Kiama? Who fancies a visit there with the kids? Well, I’m organising a school holiday visit with a bunch of other parents and pupils from the twins’ school. So I thought I’d write a planning post so that everyone […]
