A total break in tradition this year as Dad did not march with the veterans to the local memorial for the Fallen Servicemen and Women.
When I went to visit at around 11am he mentioned that Gordon, Bree and Jess and Liv were coming to take him out for fish and chips...his favourite food! Of course I was invited and as I knew everything was neat and tidy at home I said "YES!" We had to take 2 cars and set off for Kailis Bros in Fremantle by the fishing boat harbour. It was a grey, windy day but not cold and we had a lovely afternoon 'blowing away the cobwebs'.
My photos can take over now...Lovely Livvie waiting for lunch...
The view from our table...
the view of our table...note the mushy peas!
local sardines are crumbed and fried and utterly delicious...
some people had room for ice-cream but not Bree...Charlie is due in 11 days...
the old Maritime Museum, much of early Fremantle was built by convicts and they used the local sandstone...
trees can grow through the sandstone cliffs...
the view from the steps leading to the Roundhouse steps ...
crowds of people fishing on one of the groynes...
decorative bathing huts on Bather's Beach...
the view directly up High St to the Town Hall...
Inside the 1831 prison is a sobering experience...
the Curfew Bell was rung at 9.45 pm and any-one caught out after that would find themselves in the Roundhouse cells...
or the stocks as modelled by Jess...
the view back to the fishing boat harbour...
It was wonderful to get out for a scenic walk with much loved family...I hope your weekend went well
Love from Sue

You brought back loads of great memories!! In 2010 we went to Perth for a family wedding, had the most delish fish'n chips at Kailis bros (Greek) and then visited the round house. Thanks
ReplyDeleteisn't that a coincidence? I also sometimes dig out old photos and do a post on them to share with the family more than anything but they're usually still of interest to my readers xx
DeleteI remember this day, hade a great time!!! Have to do it again sometime xx
