Beaches

Hi!
Meet (left to right) Daisuke, Shonosuke & Taishin!
We had a nice relaxed start to the day – breakfast and a tour of the garden. The boys were pretty happy to pick tomatoes and eat them!

We managed to get to three different beaches today as well as a short driving tour locally so they could get a feel for our immediate area.

I have known Taishin since he was a baby! I have been good friends with his parents and grandparents for a long time. I am so glad he has been able to come and visit us now that he is a young man!

They are all pretty shy and quiet, but they make a real effort to communicate and get involved.

I forgot how cool the rocks were up the other end of Sisters Beach. Jeff keeps wanting to climb mountains and walking along beaches is a bit tame for him these days!! So its been a while!

There were so many little rock pools and interesting things to see and happily this is something that really interested the boys. They were quite happy poking about the rocks and just sitting to soak up the views. All of them live inland so not many trips to the beach!

Of course I was just as happy wandering about with my camera and enjoying not doing housework.

My vegetarian lasagne was a huge hit with everyone. Our boarder Kirrily informed me that in light of the almost daily fresh baked bread, the garlic herb bread from tonight, the lasagne and the home made ice cream… she is never leaving. Made me laugh.

Tomorrow we will be duplicating last weeks outing to Stanley, the Nut and Black River Beach… well… thats the plan anyway.

SO… since I went to bed at Oh-My-Goodness O’clock last night, I need to shuffle off this seat and get some shut eye!

Have a great day!
Cheers
