….with the wind and rain are howling in off the beach, you know that winter is really here.
Today is the third day (Monday) of our last holiday weekend until the end of October.
The weekend started with clear sunny skies, sea like glass and provided the gasping fishermen the opportunity to get out on their boats. Saturday night turned the tables and we have been battered with nor-easterlies, waves crashing in and continuous precipitation.
I have seen a couple of Riverhaven visitors, who have been very friendly, but it’s mainly been a weekend of family….
Saturday visit with our cousins saw George making another canine friend. “Sunshine Lollipop”the lastest in his list of conquests. A cuppa with Dad and Sandy and then weather enforced lockdown for the rest of the weekend.
Sunday was filled with a visit from our Wanganui nephew and his gorgeous kids, inside day doing jigsaws, watching cartoons and a shared dinner with Trudi and her yummy chicken pie!
Today is looking like another jigsaw day without much outside activity. George is working as it is not a public holiday in the UK and the seaside village is very quiet apart from the sound of waves and wind.
I would have been packing my bags (with summer clothes) and heading off to a Northern European summer about now. I am trying desperately to let that go and make the most of just life and the small things that make it worth living.
