We escaped the cold weather for a short while by stowing away on a cruise around Australia’s Sydney Harbour with Brian Bruce, of Colsterworth.
Brian said: “The Harbour Bridge and Opera House are only two of the attractions at what must be one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.
“Jackie and I shall be back in Australia next year for our granddaughter’s wedding. Meanwhile, though it’s nice to go travelling, it’s oh so nice to be home.”
