"V is for Vaucluse" & "W is for Watsons Bay"

When deciding which two letters to combine VW seemed a natural choice, even more so after Nellie said did I want someone to drive me in a VW that day.

Not having anything Violet to Wear I chose a Variegated design on a White t-shirt and added a Variegated necklace. (Nellie Wore a lovely Violet shirt.)
As We set out after doing our Various chores I Was glad that Nellie Was driving us in her little red VW as it Was a Very Wet start to the day. We Veered in at out of the traffic on the Way, choosing to travel the old Way as there Was a delay on the motorway.


Finally We headed along Winding Vaucluse Road and Wentworth Road to the Wonderful Vaucluse House Tearooms. 
It Would have been Mum’s birthday today, so I decided it Would be lovely to have High Tea With Momma Nellie to celebrate Mummy Joan’s birthday.
What a Wonderful High Tea it Was. First Two Varieties of sandwiches, salmon rolls, and mini quiches With a glass of bubbles. Then scones With rhubarb jam and cream With a pot of Summer Rose White tea. Then mini jam donuts, mini macarons, chocolate cream tarts With spun sugar, mini éclairs and pineapple tarts With gold leaf decorations With a pot of Midnight Spice herbal tea. Then coffee.

All the time Nellies little VW Waited patiently for us, even as We kept spotting Weird shapes in the bark of the trees (can you spot the monkey and the masked face?).

We retraced our steps and Valiantly headed back along the Winding roads to Vaucluse to Wander around the shops, before Wending our Way to Watsons Bay. What spectacular Views of the Water and the city skyline.
We sat and Watched the World go by (Well the tourists from around the World) for a While, then headed up to Wonder at the power of Water as We gazed over the Gap.
We sat for a While back at the Wharf Watching the Various antics of the seagulls and one pelican. We Were then disappointed to discover that Doyles on the Wharf had closed at 5.00p.m. not 6.00p.m. as stated on their Website. We Were not amused.
We had to settle for fish and chips from the Watsons Bay Hotel Takeaway instead (kids size of course as We Were still a little full). Wow, it Was Wonderful, the chips Were the best We'd had in a Very long time. We didn’t leave any for the seagulls.


After a truly Wonderful day We Wended our Way home again through the Very busy streets of Sydney playing “spot the VW” on the Way (a Wildly inaccurate 99).

Very Wonderful Vaucluse & Watsons Bay
