Everything packed, in the car.
Beach towels, flippers, inflatable rubber boards.
South along Northern Road
Narellan Rd.
We’re heading for Thirroul,
Turn onto Appin Rd.
Anticipation …
Not for the beach.
The Road to Thirroul via Appin*
The General Store at Appin!
Creamiest, tangiest, freshest
Passionfruit ice-cream in a crispy cone.
Geez, we love the trip to Thirroul.
Note:
* The tricks parents play! I am pretty sure Appin was marked as the half-way mark of this very regular trip, maybe that was to defer the need to stop and refresh (we’ll stop when we’re half way there – for an ice-cream) … or to make the second “half” of the trip feel so much shorter.
I thought the milestone of Short Memory #100 should be marked with something of great significance … and what greater significance could there be than this ritual stop-over at a tiny store in a tiny town for a very simple but delectable treat.
