Beach cricket

Cricket is second only to rugby in NZ sport.

I don't know the rules, but it is similar enough to baseball I guess. Walking along the driftwood strewn beach in front of our bach an impromptu game commenced from drift wood and a tennis ball.

We're all buzzing from being away, from being together and especially being out here on the wild west coast away from it all. After beach cricket we jumped in the river mouth that runs out into the sea.

Later Celine's mom came and joined us at the cottage. Alaric and I made homemade pizzas for everyone and the sunk sank low westward over the view beyond. Pukekos and cabbage trees silhouetted in a fiery glow.
