This time last year we shared a lockdown Anzac service on our Waiwera waterfront….today a party of eight relived the experience…
As the sun came up and Russell’s boom box competed with the lap of the sea against the Seawall, we stood once more and thought our own thoughts…listening to the live broadcast of our Capitals (Wellington) ANZAC service.
We are blessed to live in our covid under control country, sharing a coffee with our waterfront buddies and watching the sunrise.
While we might be lonely and sad(that’s a big word) sometimes we are grateful for the friends and family we have in our lives!
My small rock garden is still blooming and holding strong with the autumn sunshine and rain!
The container and skip have gone and my front lawn is rejuvenating.
The sunshade on my deck finally gave up when a mini twister swept up from the estuary and threw it against my house…no windows in the line of fire!
My house is slowly finding its personality with some of the long locked away treasures finding their place on my new (2nd hand) boat shelf!
And my doors are open to share my whole new world!
This gorgeous baby (my nephews daughter) finding joy in Russell’s childhood trucks! (Made with love by his dad more than 50 years ago!)
As we face the next few months of what will probably be a wet winter, we find our joy in the small things, a night out here and there, Super Rugby games to watch, a canine cuddle and a drink(or two) with close friends!
