Lovely lunch, beautiful day

It was a beautiful, sunny day last Saturday when the Belles enjoyed a lovely lunch at the South Bank restaurant, followed by a promenade along the Clyde river foreshore, where a kind gentleman took the photo below.

It's been a while ...

... since our last posting, but the Bay Belles have continued to enjoy various activities including a "lawn bowls for beginners" day at Batemans Bay and lunch at Malua Bay. Unfortunately, your correspondent, Dame Scarlette, has not been able to attend recent events, so at present she hasn't any photos to post. Watch this space!

Meanwhile, the poem below gives food for thought.


DUST if you must…
Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better
To paint a picture or write a letter,
Bake a cake or plant a seed,
Ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there’s not much time,
With rivers to swim and mountains to climb,
Music to hear and books to read,
Friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world’s out there
With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair,
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain.
This day wil not come round again!
Dust if you must, but bear in mind
Old age will come and it’s not kind
And when you go, and go you must,
You, yourself, will make more dust.

Remember:
