They are onto us

Did anyone notice that we were on the front page of 'Travel' the other week? I nearly spluttered on my Sunday morning coffee when I saw Champagnekate with a smokin gun on the cover!

I can see why they wrote the article - holidays with the MOB really are fun. Ok, there might be some underground activity going (like in any true MOB!).

It doesn't take long before the illicit substances come out and discrete deals are done. Jules trades in a special kind of commodity, one she will only bring out once darkness settles, wine is drunk and the MOB has reacquainted themselves with established rules of behaviour.

"This stuffs pretty heavy", I heard her say to an unsuspecting Fran. "We all need to look out for one another when we do this. Once you start, you can't stop." A hushed tone descended then and the MOB looked on in awe as Jules unwrapped the contraband.

"It's worth heaps on the black market". She said. "My contact had to order this months ago, and even then it was dodgy to get through customs." Nods went round the table. Someone slugged back some wine. "So, she said. "Whose gonna go first?"

Nine pairs of eyes looked widely on as one brave surfermum picked up the dark, gooey substance, placed it on her tongue and waited for it to melt. Moments later she looked up and smiled.

"Delicious", she said. "Annie's brownies sure are good after a day in the surf!"

(can you tell I have time to spare whilst watching my daughter do her swim squad session?!! And I'm on the iphone!)

Thanks SM for your kind words?? Its always a pleasure sharing the waves with you. I didn't drop in on you too much..... Did I? Hmm a grom needs to learn those surf rules a bit better then.Grom had a wonderful time at Crowdy too. Some of my favorite things were... the Crowdy bay prawn lunch on Friday, definitely agree with SM, on surfing Friday knowing we had the whole w/eleft to score waves, Diamond Head was definitely a highlight for those die-hards amongst us,( and those on the beach filming,laughing relaxing was such a pleasure to watch) and SM's ice- cream I'm still salivating over. The best part by far, was the bunch of licorice allsorts,that made my weekend, a magic and memorable experience. Thanks girls,love you all.. The Grommie

Crowdy 2012

What a ripper of a weekend! Once again The MOB picked a fantastic location, jagged perfect weather and picked one of the only places that could be surfed in such a big southerly swell! Friday arv saw the MOB gather out past the break at Crowdy gap. Surfing into the sunset is never better than with the knowledge of a weekend ahead with The MOB!

In the corner at Crowdy was nice the next morning but the real magic was Diamond Head on Saturday afternoon - I loved it! Only wish my arms hadn't packed it in and I would've stayed out there longer.

Thanks to all the surfermums who make it so much fun. And special thanks to Champagnekate who always provides an excellent soundtrack to our girls weekends.

Memories? Mine are: the story about hanging nappies on the clothesline, watching The Grom catch the waves I missed (there were many), eating cheese (also lots), laughing (ditto), getting dropped in on by The Grom, and Fran admiring the picture in the restuarant - she thought she could do something like that herself .... it was painted by an elephant Fran!! Still makes me chuckle.

Appropriately, the full moon shone brightly in the clear sky on Sunday night after we got home. The shimmer on the ocean was incredible. A perfect end  to a perfect weekend.
