  • Sunday 23rd December

     

     

     

     

    Anson & Patrick arrived around to get stuff and then they headed out to town.

    Anson was to pick up Marah and head to Westport to spend a few days with her family.

    Patrick is moving on to new adventures and another wwoofing farm.

    We enjoyed having him and are hoping he will find time to return later.

     

    Tim packed up the cot and all the shop supplies I had gotten in town and took them over to Waterfall Bay.

    My baby's cot has been stored in The Cottage but it is now going to be put to good use which is lovely.

     

    I hopped into bed for a rest at lunch time.

    When I got up Shoshannah had come up after her swim in her new swimsuit and was watering the pot plants.

    Isn't it lovely on her.

    Love the style and colour.

    Then around 5pm I realised Cat was taking Azzan, Nick & Bri diving so I wandered down to see them getting prepared.

    Discovered Tim was taking them along the bay in the boat so I grabbed my sunnies and hopped on board too.

    It was such a lovely afternoon I took heaps of photos happy

    Mahalia delighted cuz she was allowed to go too.

    Tim helping Azzan to do up his fins.

    Getting geared up.

    Despite the late hour of the day it was still really hot.

    The shady side of the cabin was a good place to be.

    Bri chucking Azzan in the water to cool him off!

    Cat & Nick making sure Bri & Azzan were all ready.

    Cat said for Azzan to stay with her and Nick would look after Bri.

    I heard Bri comment - 'My hero' pleased

    Ready?

    Bri & Nick are in.

    Making sure Azzan's all ready to go.

    and Cat's in

    ...and Azzan.

    and they are away!

    So we sit and wait on the boat.

    Finally they all return

    Azzan strips off

    And it is Mahalia's turn

    Cat's back in the water

    followed by her next pupil.

    We head back to the wharf

    and quickly unload before Tim heads back to pick them up.

    A lot of preparation for a short dive.

    But it is all good learning and necessary practices.

     

    Our pohutakawa's are beginning to flower.

    So pretty.

     

    Shoshannah had been busy making a roast vege salad for dinner.

    It is now 8pm and the crew are just arriving in to help get some meat cooked for dinner.

    It has been a lovely day.
