We had the picnic lunch and the bathers, the dog, (digging implements and sand castle building stuff from the Op shop on the way) so we were ready for a great day at the beach....
the first thing we did (well they did) was collect kidney shaped jelly fish....
These jelly fish are non stinging so it was safe for the girls to collect them.....
Miss H said......"I might just see if the water is cold before i get changed into my bathers Nanna....."
" OHHHH it is a bit cold but it is warm on the edge and i want to collect those jelly fish so i will put them on.... see i already have one ...look Nanna...".
"i am taking these home with me Nanna"..... "the whole dish full that i have collected"...but Poppy says..."not likely they will stink the ute out and where will you keep them till Wednesday"..
"I a jar of course Poppy"... but Nanna says..."I don't have a jar big enough for all those"
so they compromised ...Poppy says..."You can take home 6 only"...so home they came ..but disintegrated by the time we got home being bumped about in the back of the old ute....
we dug a hole to look for the little creature who made all the little wriggly mounds of sand all along the beach...and this is what we found ...little spider crabs...
then there was the view.... a huge freighter ship coming in to the Tamar river ...a sail boarder taking advantage of the slight warm breeze that was blowing.....
and this dog was in doggy heaven wading in the shallows.......
i had shells to search through .... and sand between my toes (perhaps i was a mermaid in another life????)
What a beautiful day in a wonderful worldTHEN to top that... we called at the Cherry Farm on the way back home and bought a kilogram of these gorgeous Lapins black cherries....(they were huge ...as big as a twenty cent piece almost)
they were just hanging there on the trees right where we pulled up....(we didnt have to pick our own either)
they were just hanging there on the trees right where we pulled up....(we didnt have to pick our own either)we ate nearly all of them on the way home too.....
Double heaven..... to an amazing day....
I was just telling Ella (who was reading over my shoulder- she likes to see her cousins) about how when I was little and staying on a beach somewhere my cousin, aunty and I had a huge "jelly fish fight" throwing those jelly fish at each other. It was one of those super fun days from my childhood. And those cherries! I miss Tassie cherries
