Well, what a Christmas ! We went to Dutton Bay and spent time with The Man's sisters family and drank lots, ate well and generally had fun at the shack. Boxing Day ended up being a special surprise for The Girl as she got to ride a horse ! The lady on the other side of the road (the brother in laws, brother and wife) offered to take The Girl out for a ride. Well, after waiting all of Christmas night and most of the next morning, she finally had her wish come true. As you can see by the look on her face, she was stoked ! See more pictures on www.ringo.com (you need to be updated to see all pictures, so do yourself a favour !!!!).
As you can see by the title of this blog, I am referring to the one written in January 2005 because we went to the same place and while some people bag it for not being the flashest beach it has a certain Aura about it that I like. No chance of ever getting a shack here a). TOO MUCH MONEY for seaside shacks nowadays, b) not a lot of land here for sale anyway (good because it keeps it small and more family orientated). Still, one can dream. If you re-read that blog, it will say virtually the same thing that I would write here. We went for a tour in the tinny today and cruised around the bay to see the other shacks and then discoverd no less than 6 dolphins. One performed a little for us by jumping out of the water, they flapped their tails on the water and swam at the front of the boat, The Girl and her Auntie were sitting on the front of the boat (is that called the bow ?) and Auntie touched a dolphin with her foot. We also stopped off at another beach to wet our toes and explore the beach. Upon our return, we spotted a rather LARGE emu sniffing around the front of the shack. The 2 dogs that were there wanted to have a go at it but it wasn't a shy one. It lost a bit of gumption (and the dogs then gained some) and chased it away.
Then it was time to come home (oooohhhhh), but we will return, maybe we will take our visitors there (arriving tomorrow, 27th). We'll see.
New Year soon, get ready to make some New Years Resolutions, or NOT !
