Peaceful Paradise

February 11th and still we have the most summery days , so after a morning of washing the house down, cleaning windows (and a little stitching)and a relaxed lunch on the deck, we packed a picnic afternoon tea and took the boat down to the Outlet Beach via emerald coloured Humphries Bay (inspiration for the stone we chose for my engagement ring , twenty years ago) and had a wonderful swim. We saw 2 boats only at the Outlet, 2 people  and 2 more boats on our return to the bach after ice water in champagne glasses accompanied by custard square (!) and sweet mandarines. Heaven indeed.
