Early morning and late evening strolls along the beach make for a relaxing time and with the holiday park just behind the dunes, a braai and a glass of good ole South African wine in hand, you have a perfect late summer evening before turning in with the sound of the waves lulling you off to sleep. Pure bliss!
There is an abundance of seabird life - the majority of which are these fellows - strutting their stuff or soaring and squealing overhead. It appears that there are at least three different sub species of seagulls in the vicinity - these two being of the large and cantankerous variety! They have plenty of opportunity to pick up scraps - fisherman are dotted along the shore pretty well most of the time and bits of bait and scraps of fish fins are snapped up with maximum fuss and flutter!
'Adopted' granddaughters Jackie and Helena taking it easy at their new holiday accommodation! We played cards and rode our bikes and strolled along the beach having Conversations of Great Importance - searching out the biggest words we could find. Onomatapoeia being a really choice one! There was also boogie boarding in the waves and arab springs on the beach - watersliding into the icy pool at the holiday park and licking of yummy icecreams under our large sunhats - (the sun was out and Very Fierce.) while the gentlemen took the boat out into the deep sea and fished for our dinner!
Chores have to be done, even on holiday, and everyone takes their turn. 'Little Joe' has his most concentrated face on in this picture while he tackles the dishes!
