Last full day with my sister and family, so doing a bit of a local buzz about. We went down to Boat Harbour Beach first to let the kids run amok and soak up the amazing sunshine today!
Its a beautiful little beach with notoriously cold waters!
I dabbled my toes of course – it wasn’t too bad – certainly fresh though! Maybe a little while before we go swimming… and maybe at a different beach! 🙂
We drove up Table Cape (which kind of lies between our house and the ocean) for beautiful views and a peek at the lighthouse.
We dined on some hot chips for lunch down by Wynyard Beach, then came back home for a quiet afternoon – Michelle took a much needed nap. The husbands and kids entertained themselves with the Minions movie.
But I couldn’t resist staying out in the sunshine to play in the garden for a while. I decided to pull up everything out of my crazy broccoli raised garden bed.
The chickens got a lot of scraps today -and lots of greens in the way of broccoli plants – and as a special bonus – a swag full of snails that had taken up residence in this bed!
There was much excitement, snatching, running and crunching!
I did get into the hothouse and plant my three new tomato plants. I am going to try to keep it to only these three and dig up and relocate any self seeded tomatoes (that are bound to come up) All other tomato plants can be outside ones.
I still have plenty of broccoli on offer around the place, so I didn’t feel so bad taking out that whole plot – I have a feeling a lot of self seeded ones will still pop up, so if I want to put in more, I won’t have any supply problems.
Hope your day was great too!!
Cheers!
Wow, beautiful scenery! So happy you had good visits with your family.
Thank-you! We made the most of every second!
What a beautiful beach! How warm do your ocean temperatures get?
Thanks – it is a very pretty beach. I am not sure what the actual temps are – I just know this beach is icy cold – even in summer! We like to swim at Sisters Beach which isn’t far from this one, but the water temp goes up quite a few degrees. Nothing like the tropics tho!! 🙂 I will have to do some googling to find out!
