Rachel, Ben and Tigerlily came for the weekend and today I took them down to Beechwood. It wasn't the best introduction with the kitchen area still totally bare and nothing in the frig but joined by Alison, Christopher, Daisy and Chris we set up the picnic table and lunched royally on leg ham sandwiches.
It rained quite heavily: the rainwater tanks don't arrive till tomorrow and the downpipes are hanging loose, making little puddles and gullies in the sand. We moved to the shelter shed where Ben had a brainwave that those odd yellow knobs in the bush hut are to hold up a hammock so we tried it out on Tigerlily and it worked beautifully; she loved it.
When the rain stopped we went for a walk on the beach and made a sandcastle for Tigerlily to sit on. She's a gorgeous lively three-year old, my sister Jennifer's granddaughter.
The shelter shed had its rocky cement floor jack-hammered out by the footie boys and we haven't yet decided on a replacement, possibly decking.
