Visit of John Kightley & Tony Orchard
Sydney and The Central Coast
John and Tony are friends from Swanage and stayed with Polly & Tommy at their home in Tumbi Umbi for a few days. We enjoyed their company and the opportunity to visit some of the attractions of the area. The weather was unusally wet but as you can see we all enjoyed ourselves.
