Last month our daughters came from Melbourne to visit us and in Sonya's case for a family holiday at the beach on Stradbroke Island. While they were here we all went to the Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland Point. Bernie wasn't with us yet. He was working and was joining us later.
We had to wait ages for our meals. So the girls entertained their Dad with funny film clips on the phone. It turned out our order got lost when they had an interruption to the internet. We were given a free drink in compensation.
Carol and David left for Melbourne after Carol had come with me to see the neurosurgeon about my sciatica.
Bernie arrived and we went to the Lions Australian Rules Football Club for dinner. While we were there members of the staff recognised Bernie as an Australian actor and wanted to meet him. He is always willing to meet and greet fans and be nice to them, obviously to keep popularity.
The next day we grabbed a neighbour to take a family photo before they went off to Stradbroke for ten days. You can see that Fox looks like his Dad and Banjo like his mum.
However, Bernie got called up to work on another movie in Victoria so he had to leave before Sonya and the boys. They stayed overnight with us again before flying home. Unfortunately their plane was delayed after they had boarded and they had to sit on the tarmac for over an hour in the tropical heat without air conditioning. Finally they got home safe and sound. Now they are all back at work and school.
By the way the movie is 'Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky" with Liam Neeson:
Lighthouse Restaurant at Cleveland Point has the most stunning water views, at least during the daylight. Food and wine are added extras :)
ReplyDeleteWow ! the boys have also grown !! It's true, i saw it immediately, one looks like Mum the other like Dad how nice that you could all meet together ! I don't know when I will see Dario again, he came a day after Christmas to sign bank papers, Toby preferred to stay with his friends (which I understand, he would be bored to death in this awful rainy weather and my dear DIL has a good excuse she has to stay with the dog. Anyway she doesn't like to travel anymore , too many strikes, she is a very anxious person and is afraid of her own shadow.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of your family! I will have to look out for that movie. Take care, have a great day!

I love all Liam, no matter what he is in. hope I will get the chance to see this one and meet your son in law. the photos taken in the resturant that forgot you, are excellent. all of them. it looks like a really nice place. hope the doctor visit will find a way to help your pain so you can get back to walking

What a lovely visit with your daughters and their family, Diane as you all looked so happy. The delayed meal only gave you more time to socialize. I will check out that movie as well. Hope the visit to the doctor will provide some relief for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat family photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Family time is so precious. Those boys are such handsome lads! And no wonder. I think we saw your sil in 'my life is murder'. We subscribe to Acorn TV and get a lot of Australian TV shows as well as British.
ReplyDeleteA lot to be proud of Diane, photos are fantastic as always. Your son-in-law is very good natured about greeting his fans. I really admire that considering it must happen all the time. Lovely photos of the family, the boys are growing up!
ReplyDeletePrecious time with your family. It would have been incredibly unpleasant waiting on the aircraft for takeoff. I hope the specialist has given you hope for a solution to your sciatica.
ReplyDeleteGreat family pics! I love that one of the girls and their Dad laughing. I owe you an e-mail - it's been awhile. Barb
