#21 High Tea on the Harbour
#21 High Tea on the Harbour – Completed Saturday, 14 May
Well here we are the final one… Mum was in Sydney for the Andre Rieu concert so that meant we could have a belated Mother's Day celebration - and what better way to do that but High Tea on the Harbour. It was a pretty cold day in Sydney but the sun was shining so it was great to be out on the water. A Glass of champagne and relatively good food - the scones were fantastic!
Although short (1 hour 15 mins) it certainly was a lovely time and a great way to finish this list.

#16 Breast Cancer Walk
#16 Breast Cancer Walk – Completed Sunday 8 May
So up bright and early today for the 8km walk. Meet up with Kirsty & Boots as they were doing the 4km walk – Kirsty is currently going to through treatment for breast cancer so it was great to see her. I never thought in my life time that I'd know anybody who had breast cancer but I have three friends – Cherie, Kirsty & Sally that have been or going through treatment and so my thoughts were with them throughout this day.
Sydney put on a fantastic day full of sunshine and clear skies. The walk started by The Domain and headed along Macquarie/College streets before heading down Art Gallery Road to Mrs Macquaries Chair and back to The Domain.
I said goodbye to Kirsty & Boots after the 4kms and I continued on to complete the 8kms. Tired and sore at the end but so glad this was on my list. Great day for a great cause.

#17 Lawn Bowls
#17 Lawn Bowls – Completed Sunday 1 May
This one was so much fun! Rita, Costa, Penny and I meet up at The Hunters Hill Club at 12pm for lunch first – what a beautiful day! Certainly made a difference having some sun for a change.
We headed down the back 'green' at 1pm for a quick session on how to play then got underway – first go was a bit of a laugh, didn't get the ball down the green anywhere near the white one. I seemed to get better and better as I played thank god! Costa was trying to beat us all so between Rita, Penny and I the games became about stopping Costa from winning - way too funny!
Great fun and something I'd do again – it's so addictive!
