We woke up early to go to church in the morning. I was expecting the church here to be tiny but there were a few hundred people there! It was really nice! I met the pastor there who was Scottish, he had moved to Australia back in the 60s, but hadn’t lost his Scottish accent at all! Which was quite funny to me! After the service finished, we all headed back to Karmyn’s place for lunch and a movie with a few of their friends. We had planned to go kayaking in the creek later that afternoon so headed out to borrow some kayaks. Neither Jess or Karmyn had kayaks, but they had just called round a few of their neighbours and asked to borrow some! So we went round to their houses and they helped us to load the kayaks into the ute. So so different from London life. We headed down to the lake and headed in with our kayaks! It was a fun few hours! There were 3 of us in mine and I kept worrying that we would fall in as it was rocking a bit but we didn’t luckily! Jess’s mum walked past to say hi and helped us take some nice photos!

We headed out to the evening service at church later and then for some Indian food afterwards with some of their friends. The weekend went so quickly but it was so much fun! I loved every minute of it and was grateful for the way things had worked out! I had planned to spend a few days in Byron Bay which is not too far from here before heading back to Sydney and Jess and Karmyn were off work the next day along with their friend Christina so we decided to all drive there together and spend the day together there.
