visitors

A weekend at the beach in somewhat warmer weather means visitors.

We met some new inhabitants on the beach while he was fishing and invited them, Marian and Steve, for drinks on the beach deck - and it was just warm enough to sit out there and watch the sunset.

Di and Rory arrived at "red o'clock " the next evening but we retreated to the upstairs room out of the wind where we could still watch the birds. Di and I prefer "white o'clock ".  

Denise came for lunch then Jon and Jaynee to tell us they will be neighbours,  having bought a house halfway round the bay, then Jan and Fred for dinner.

Sunday Angela and Joe from next door dropped in then elder granddaughter Hannah and her partner ChrisM (to distinguish from the other Chrises)  came to sample jaffles made the old-fashioned way in a jaffle iron cooked on an open fire in the shelter shed.

Here they are constructing their own (chicken is a favourite) -

 

The wildlife visitors included a swamp wallaby that hopped from the road to the beach via the beach deck - too quickly for anyone to take a photo - and a blue-tongue lizard that had Willow fascinated, not a good idea as she might try to get up close and personal with a snake.
