Waterloo Rd, North Ryde

Our daughter lived in London for a while, so it was only fitting that she joined us to revisit Waterloo – Waterloo Rd, although there IS a train station there at North Ryde.

It runs through Macquarie University, which has recently undergone a terrific facelift – a great place for the dog to enjoy a run.

Rue St Jacques

On our first ever European trip in 2013, Robyn and I flew in to Paris and stayed at an apartment on Rue St Jacques, midway between the Sorbonne and Notre Dame Cathedral.

(Stuart Greene, we will never forget that recommendation!)

We were like school children, giddy with excitement.

Paris didn’t disappoint.

This Jacques at Chatswood didn’t quite measure up, but hey, who can complain about a walk in the Sydney sunshine during a winter COVID lockdown.

(And yes, legal; Chatswood is within our 10kn travel bubble.)
