Amazing...

I stayed overnight at a friend's birthday party at the weekend and woke up for a walk on a beautiful slice of secluded beach.

I was amazed to get within a metre of a wild dolphin, playing in the shallows, we found a sealion lounging on the sand and The Boy even picked up a cowrie shell the size of my hand.

In the middle of all this turmoil, a day like that is a blessing, and a reminder why this is the place I want to raise all my children.

Rumbling tummies & wandering minds...

After a day of sightseeing with visitors TheKids were starting to lose interest and tummies were grumbling.
I realised it was time to go when BoyChild - standing in the sand just 20m from a sealion as it reared up like a furred, magnificent, Jabba the Hut - looked the creature up and down contemplatively and said simply:
"Hey mum, what do you think they'd taste like?"
