After a wet and windy return to New Zealand for the Kiwi Travellors, the sun and sea gods have given us the best!
Friends and family in the beach cottage (our home for the summer)…people come and people go and more people gather…
Gatherings and catchups with offspring and young people! Under the Gazebo (this could be a whole story on its own), the $79.00 Gazebo… protects from the Sun, the Rain, the passers by and is a general outdoor room meeting place for many events!
Local Mode of transport -Sues old Peugeot bike, a popular choice when having consumed a bevy to ride to the corner shop, or feed the dog! (down the road) and across to the boat shed. Carrier basket comes in very useful needless to say!
Everyone is enjoying the beach, with its low tide running space for horses, and luke warm water to wallow in at full tide (after a hot 27-30 degree celcius day at work). These beautiful Palaminos turned up last evening for their beach exercise session. Actually Russ and Sues evening exercise session entailed walking to the beer fridge for a cold “Speights” and chilling under the aforementioned Gazebo!
Dog fun when the Horses are not around – young dogs and horses are not an ideal combination. However evenings are long (sun setting at 9pm) so there is time for everyone.
And of course there are fishing times…. Steph hooked this baby mako shark (well hooked into its mouth). However, with the aid of the “Walmart” fish pliers all the way from Texas, Sue managed to free this baby and it swam off tackle free to continue its life in the deep blue sea!
While some of us are back at work, we have enjoyed two weeks of sunshine and vitamin SEA, and returning to Waiwera every evening, what more can one ask for! Choosing to live the life we love, makes every day a great one!
All who wander are not Lost girls
