weekend at bendigo

Comment Published at 22:5222:522 comments2 comments16 Visits16 VisitsReport

just spent the weekend in bendigo. i cancelled work for friday and saturday (im a casual so im able to do that ) and i went with my son to a soccer (football ) tournament which he was coaching.

my son got selected out of one hundred coaches 24 were selected for future overseas tournament which will be held in july of this year. it looks like it will be held in the states (united states)

my hubby who i hadnt seen since thursday (and only then very briefly) was able to drive after work on saturday to bendigo and spend saturday night with me) he had to get up at 4 in the morning so he could get back to his work dstination which was also country victoria. he was exhausted but im glad he did that for me as we do try to get around situations to spend a little time together

im exhausted but i cant complain my son did all the driving ane he got up at 6 am and be on the soccer field all day for the tournament and then freshen up go the presentation and then he kicked back and socialized with the parents and other coaches.

even though i had been to bendigo before i had only caught glimpse of it as i had been either driving through or working there for a couple of days and far too exhausted to look around. lots of restaurents and hotels and it was pleasant

on the way back we drove to williamstown. i grew up there and went to the high school there. we drove through the strand and went through the back beach . plenty of cars there they were having the australian high speed boat race going on and they also had the arts and craft market next to the docklands.

we then drove to williamstown beach before visiting the cemetary where my dad is buried

i am  now relaxing . the weather was glorious so i cant complain

i hope everyone else had an enjoyable weekend

let me know how your weekend went

cheers to all annie

i havent been to lakes entrance for a long time but it is a beautiful place. bendigo is lovely too for us city slickers its great for a trip.

we would find it hard to live there. i love adelaide it has been 10 years since ive been. but my hubby and i found the pace of life was much slower than what we are used to

goes to show you how stressed city living has become!!!

cheers annie
