Most Sundays, DH spends the day at the golf club with his friends. But last Sunday, we spent the day together...
First there was the 9.30 service at St James...it was a special day as 6 children from the Sunday School were making their first communion...most of them were grandchildren of fellow parishioners, so a real family affair. And there was a huge table of goodies for the children and their families after the service! :-)
This is her husband below (in black) who was the Rector at St James when my girls were little. It was great to 'catch up ' with them both as they have retired to a country town.
Then after the service DH and I headed off. Our destination was Buderim, a very pretty little town in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Here is a view in the main street of Buderim. This modern looking shopping centre is on the site of the old Buderim Ginger Factory which relocated to Yandina quite a few years ago now...
Here is another view of the main street; this time looking in the opposite direction...
First stop in Buderim was for lunch at 'The Chopping Block', a quaint cafe in the main street. We've eaten here before and enjoy the food there. Sunday was no exception!
And DH had the same!
Then after a bit of a walk down the main street, we went back to where the car was parked and then drove to the Community Hall. Robyn, a former student of mine, runs the Buderim Youth Theatre of Excellence, and DH and I had travelled there last Sunday to see the latest production, 'Little Shop of Horrors'. As usual, the young actors did a brilliant job and we thoroughly enjoyed the show.
After the show we drove home after having had a lovely day together.

Buderim is such a lovely area. Glad you had a lovely day.
