Nesting shag …..

….. ….. ….. in the Waikuku wetlands. I did get a quick glimpse of wee chicks but only a tantalising one.

We had super walks along the beach and estuary today, loving the fresh sea air, the sound of the surf, the warmth of the sun and the salty smells. It did bring back memories of living in my caravan at Woodend.

We had lunch in Rangiora too, with my son-in-law’s Dad, who’s still as bright and sharp as ever, although physically he’s quite challenged.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I hope it’s a lovely one for you all.
