Strike a pose

Girls, have a look at this TED talk I came across the other day, it really struck a chord with me. You have to watch it till the end (no, its not funny or anything, its a serious little lecture - TED talks: ideas in 18 mins or less). I'm going to include it in my girls program at school.

A Music festival tragic - ChampagneKate

Hi surfermums! I was just having a look at the last couple of posts here at the Surfermum blog and having a giggle to myself... we've had some funny times and its nice to look back at the photos and smile.

I haven't posted for a while but we did have a get together for CK's birthday. In fact the whole town of Wingham held a music festival in her honour! We had a great night and even brought along some fellas for the ride (this has never before happened at a MOB event!).

Typically, CK could be found at the bar whenever she saw the chance.

And now for our next get together....

I am getting very excited for this weekend. See you then.

Happy (surfer)mums day!

Diamond steam. 6.30 Saturday morning.

I hope all you Surfermums had a lovely Mothers Day today. The water is still lovely and warm as I found out this afternoon when I had a late surf with husband at the Reef. I heard that Kim was out there this morning, and I would expect that the Grommie got some waves too (her husband was certainly carving some out there at Diamond this afternoon till dusk). I don't seem to see much of you gals lately, I hope you all got spoiled today.xx

Ahh... the memories

Some more photos have surfaced from our Weekend at Bernies (starring you know who!)

Saturday: Bernie was the only one brave enough to go out in the big swell...

...until I summoned the courage to join her (and the swell dropped).

Dinner on the deck: Fran's lamb and eggplant salad, roasted vegetables, feta, caesar salad, prawns etc, followed by honeycomb ice cream and brownies.

Sunday: Only caught on camera as she emerges from her big session in the waves - Debbie.

Playing on the point on my lonesome.

It's Bernie- cracking the big ones out the back. 

Fran - indicating how many waves she missed. Dang it!

Thanks Julie for being a wonderful photographer (and wonderful person all round) and supplying these photos.

She makes friends wherever she goes

Celito, saturday: Out on the Point, Grommie got chattin to a hunky man with a Go Pro...

they swapped numbers and whadya know... 

he sent her these great on-water pics.

He actually wasn't that hunky. Just an all round nice guy.

Weekend at Bernie's

The view

The champagne starts to flow...

a Titanic moment

Grommie beats another bloke onto a wave...

Deb and Dewy. Chillin.

Thanks girls, for another fantastic weekend! More photos to come (send them to me Jules!). 

Now, when is our next weekend away..?

Weekend at Bernies

Enough of the old duck- SM !! As per my stage name- 'grommie', I think I'm actually the youngest of the clan...
I'm getting very excited for the weekend!
  As usual, I'm sure there's going to be some fabulous food, perhaps some drumming and definitely some waves.
On the menu, I believe salmon on the bbq, and  a yummy lamb  dish . I'm thinking of bringing some bircher muesli and some bacon/eggs  for breakies. Jules is onto some delish chocolate dessert and there was mention of salmon rolls.. also the amazing honeycomb ice-cream…. mmm sounds good.
Bring on Friday…grommie (aka weekend at Bernie's )
