point +shoot - the weekend that was (aka - Surviving Sydney!)

So, I survived my weekend away. On Friday evening after I arrived I went for a walk down to Milson's Point, between the Harbour Bridge and Luna Park. It was inspiring for my soul.

I got back to the hotel and was confronted by something I had not been exposed to for a very long time. 

The sound of silence.

On Saturday morning while walking to the Church where the wedding was being held, I was so anxious I thought my heart was going to explode from thumping so much. I felt alone. A feeling that I don't experience much these days. Along with that, I had no idea who was going to be there. Luckily within a few minutes of arriving at the Church, I saw someone I knew, and things calmed down a little for me.

By mid-afternoon, I realised that I had become used to feeling alone. Not necessarily a good feeling, but one that I could deal with, accept, and more importantly, function with. 

The reception was held at The Spit in Mosman. One of the most beautiful areas in Sydney. The restaurant was at the edge of the water, and the Bride and Groom arrived in a boat. 

 For those of you who were interested (after the discussion of what to wear!), I am the one in the black dress. My scarf had been draped much more nicely than this earlier, but kept falling down at dinner, so I tied it up. Not very well. Unforunately in this photo you can't see my nice pink dangly earrings, or necklace, or chunky bracelet which made my outfit a bit more colourful. I chopped the heads off, because I don't know how I feel about putting photos of  people on my blog who I haven't talked to about it. What about you? Do you ask people before you put their photos on the internet?

My darling family met me at the train station when I came home. While I was away they had decided to do some camping....

So when  I came home this is how they had redecorated my dining room. 

I could not possibly love them anymore.
This is the way I love them. Just like this.
