To end the school holidays we had a little escape....sadly we left the man of the house home to work...but our fun came at little cost because we all know that the best things in life are free ...right???
A little beach side living...simple, basic , technology free and right on the beach......
Shoes were abandoned right from the start....did I mention this is our Winter....how blessed were we....
Clothes that hindered were even modified for comfort....
modifications allowed the wearer to run free and fast....
Anything found lying around was fair game...especially if it was useful for digging giant sized holes ...
The bigger ones of us did venture off the verandah a couple of times...shoes on though...
There was some time needed for drying out in the sunshine and refueling for more play...
New friends were gathered and drawn into the games created....
Energy was a plenty which meant sleep came easy...
There was plenty of time to finish a book...
Drink lots of tea and a spot of knitting in the sunshine that was a plenty...
Cousins enjoyed each other company...
We did venture away from our sanctuary...for a little spot of sight seeing.....
But actually everyone was more than happy just to be by the ocean till the sun went down and the wet clothes became a little cold...and the bellies began to rumble...
But not before the mummies did some playing with the cameras at the most spectacular sun setting moments...
When fun is involved kids are so obliging....
It is little getaways like this that create the biggest memories.....
There is one question that may be niggling you though.....what does a non knitter knit in just a few days.... no fancy patterns or projects just the need to sit in the sun and practice something rhythmic......and the desire to leave a little joy in a place that gave us so much......
Oh Bron I am so glad you have had some time away to relax and enjoy the last week of holidays. Getting away and enjoying time with technology sounds wonderful. It looks beautiful where you stayed and I have to say I looove that first sunset photo with everyone jumping in it, perfection. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your sunset pictures. They're just beautiful! Still seems funny to me that you get your sunset at the beach whereas we get our sunrise ... makes us seem a very long way away from each other.

ReplyDeleteLooks fun! love those sunset shots xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely memories you are making before the start of the school year. Looks like it was an amazing trip! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to finish off the holidays. I love Winter so much here, just for that reason that really, it is just the best time to be out and about! Well done on the knitting practice and I can't believe that boy is jumping into a huge pile of seaweed. Seaweed gives me the heebie jeebies!
