Arrival in Sydney and seeing George and Sophie

Up early and off with Dianne to pick up her grandson Tom.  We just had a short time to swim in the sea before going off to Sydney.  This was a great kindness to us, Dianne must have one of the busiest weeks of anyone in Perth and we enormously appreciated being taken to do our, at least Liz in particular's favourite thing.  We were then dropped off at the airport and lifted into the air again for a mere 4 hours and then down in wet old Sydney, rather welcome after all that hot.   We touched down and came off the plane expecting hours of collecting bags and I suppose we were thinking that we would have to go through customs and show passports etc so we hadn't even bothered to think about smiling.  Imagine how surprised our smiles were when as we came off the plane and into the airport, there were two smiling shining faces and although we knew we would be thrilled to see them, it was even better than we imagined.  George and Sophie are the best at coming to the airport and meeting us in Sydney!  They took us through Sydney to their flat which was looking so settled and everything now their own.  Pictures up, a lovely sideboard, dining room table and chairs, no sign of George's trainers or clothes on the floor.  This is a seriously married boy.   Well done Sophie!  We had a culinary creation from the new bride, well done Sophie, and a most comfortable bed.  We didn't wake up until after George and Soph had well gone to work the next day.
