A favorite haunt - Hastings....

When we don't really know what to do we tend to find ourselves climbing into the car armed with a picnic basket and heading down to Hastings for fish and chips and generally a walk along the pier to blow away the cobwebs.

We got to eat the fish and chips......

But it was too windy and somewhat chilly so we didn't get to go for the walk along the pier.

Are you happy?

We stayed the night at the Novotel on Collins last night as we were in town for Bombardiers Social Function - a river boat cruise.

I found this card on the desk as we came into the room and just had to share it........

I know that I haven't been blogging of late but we have just been seriously out of control busy!

The year is drawing to a close and there is end in sight for the madness.

Speaking of staying in the city... an odd occurance for me as I am usually in the country or interstate.  This was the view from our room this morning.....

The morning started with beautiful buffet breakfast in the Lane Cafe and Bar.  Both Noel and I were surprised when we came accross some real honeycomb available for the taking.

After leaving the hotel, we finally started our Christmas shopping at Westfield Airport West before heading to the airport to pick up Noel's parents who had been away on holiday.
