Day 288 - Beach Baby


Cautious at first, Henry enjoyed his first real outing to the beach, letting the sand fall between his fingers and attempting to walk on the sand! We had a great day today with beautiful sunshine and gorgeous surroundings. In the morning we visited the produce markets at the community garden where Glenda puts in a lot of time, buying some delicious chutneys and jams (Glenda's Galley), free range eggs and some goats milk soap. After lunch we ventured down to the beach where Henry tried out his brand new thongs (they are blue with little crabs on them). It was a bit windy down there and we had decided to go back, but on the walk back, we luckily had a little break of sunshine and Henry wanted to play. I was pretty happy; anything to put off climbing about 100 steps to get back to the house. It's a long hike when holding a 10kg beach baby!

Day 17 - Wash Day


No clever words of wisdom here, but it was a beautiful hot day outside today and I have to say that there is something strangely satisfying about getting all of Henry's nappies, all the towels and sheets out on the line in the hot sunshine.
