East Maitland

After a dash across Melbourne and to check in with barely minutes to spare I have a short flight up to Newcastle to stay with mum’s cousin Hilary.   
Hilary is really wonderful and it is amazing to spend time to her one-to-one. Of the handful of times I have met her before has been as part of a family gathering. It is lovely to hear her stories and tell her about my recent adventures.  When her daughter Tanya comes over one evening I am really struck by the strong family resemblance between them both and my mum and grandmother.  


Hilary has an appointment in East Maintland so I tag along for the ride, picking up a walking tour guide on the way.
