Hello!
Was a busy and tiring weekend. I won’t go into my torturous time shopping – haha. Clearly I am not built for shops.
I escaped with Jeff late Saturday for a short hike in the pouring rain that everyone else sensibly declined.
Since Sunday was the last full free day we had with the girls we planned to go to Sister’s Beach, rain, hail or shine.
It was a bit overcast, but the rain held off – indeed and it even became sunny by the afternoon!
The sea was really foamy, so Peggy and I had some fun jumping in foam puddles
We came across a group of girls that were having a brilliant time having a foam fight and were covered in the stuff!
Peggy got her photo taken with them and did a couple of selfies which the girls were totally happy to pose for! (They are all going to need to be hosed off before being allowed in the house again haha)
As usual… the beach shows its artistic side with sand scribbles, rocks, sponges, driftwood etc etc
Jeff amused himself by making ‘stuff’ out of grass stalks.
I just photographed them
The rocks are always a better colour in the damp
This rock was quite pink…
A bit of driftwood in the making was on the shores too… some buried in an interesting way – testament to the wild weather we’ve been having
The other girls dashed off to play on the swings in the playground but Peggy stuck around on the beach with us.
The sea was choppy, but we did enjoy a bit of sun and the day wasn’t very cold. A lucky break for the last Sunday
Too soon it was time to head home and prepare food to take out to a gathering of all the host families and students, which was a fun night – and good to meet a few more people!
Hope your weekend was fantastic too!
Cheers
I’ve so enjoyed reading about the girls’ adventures & I love your beach! I’m totally landlocked on the other side of the world from you, where the nearest beach is at least a full days drive from me. So I’ve only been able to go to the beach twice in my lifetime.
Hi Jenny! Glad I can share some pretty beaches with you. Wow… only twice to the beach so far! Thats a really looooong trip!! I grew up inland so going to the beach was such a big exciting thing for us!
I loved the river country where I grew up but now I have the best of both worlds! So lucky!
Wonderful pictures, Lisa. xxoo
Thanks Judy!
