A Christmas Wedding

Christmas is a time for gathering of family and weddings also bring people together. Combine the two and you have the makings of a real celebration. Yesterday I went to the wedding of a friend from Auckland law school. We both reside in Australia these days and the wedding was held in the quintessentially Sydney setting of Jonah's overlooking Whale Beach. It was a very joyful occasion.

If you click to enlarge this map, you will see that our home at Copacabana is quite close to the Northern Beaches of Sydney. However, since my car is not amphibious and is not capable of traversing the Hawkesbury River, we took the long way around - a thankfully event-free journey despite holiday traffic.

My brother and sister in law arrived from Queensland yesterday and more family are due to arrive today. To everyone travelling at this busy time, keep safe.
