So Sydney has now gone into Winter. This meant I was routing through my suitcase trying to find my thickest and warmest of clothes, forgetting that Winter in Scotland is very different to Winter in Australia. Back home you do your best not to leave the house during Winter but when you have to you spend a good 5 minutes trying to navigate a way to wear as many clothes as possible and even then you lose feeling in your toes as soon as you leave your house. However, here Winter is very different. It's much closer to a Summers day back home. The sun has been out and its been above 20C many days.
On one of these "Winter" days we headed into the city to hand out more resumes in an attempt to find work. After running out of resumes we thought there would be nothing better than to grab a sandwich and go for a little picnic in the Botanic Gardens. This was never on my 'must see' list of Sydney but it was so lovely and I'm so glad we went. We lay on the grass for over an hour and just enjoyed being by the water and in the sun. We took a wee stroll around (when I needed the toilet) and found it was full of beautiful trees and flowers to see. I'm not one who marvels of nature like this but it really was just such a pleasant place to be so would definitely recommend it if anyone every needs a quiet place to go or just wants to hide away from the city.
