Its summertime in our seaside town of Waiwera
Dan and the kids at dusk on Waiwera Beach.
It has been a big few days for the travellers catching up with family, friends and the seaside.
We now drink water from the tap and drive on the left hand side of the road!
Several trips to the supermarket to stock up on the essentials in the “Bach” for summer. We are living in our beach cottage for the summer, Russ in his retirement and me back at work today! For a week at least….then a little break over Christmas and new year with the family.
The Sun gods came out to greet us in all their gloriousness, so glad I resisted the temptation to buy a winter wardrobe from Oslo (beautiful clothes there), as we are back in shorts and singlets… all the posted boxes with our summer clothes have arrived.
Kevin and Mum came to visit us on the day of our return at the cottage, and I spent time with Mum on Friday and Saturday, in between coffee breaks and the shopping episodes.
Russ enjoying Orewa Beach Coffee break! (a kids surf carnival in the background)
Life is back to normal, as normal as normal ever is…and yesterday was a big day with the Bonnici Clan. The unveiling of Uncle Doug (Bonnici) and Auntie Kats memorial Plaques followed by the lunch at Als place. Catching up with all the cousins and family friends the lunch turned into a whole afternoon, and as we are still in holiday mode, in good fashion, we were last to leave. Bar ONE, the Gilbank Clan from Bathurst! Fun to catch up.
A big shout out to all my Maltese Family, Oslo Family and Texas family for making the last four months the most memorable adventures of our life. It is not over, we will be back…..
All who wander are not Lost girls
