Spring Break...

With the schools closed for the week, there was lots of free time on our hands...



Monday I had the brilliant idea to walk from Brenton On Sea (bottom right) to Buffalo Bay (top left)... having visited this bay many times and only walked about 1/4 of the way each time, I was excited to trek the whole bay... excited until that evening when I couldn't even move because of 3 hours of walking in deep sand!

God did give me a very special gift on the walk... a whole "Nautilus" shell, paper thin and very rare to find!!






Tuesday & Wednesday were 'chill' at home and watch the birds in the garden days while my knees recuperated! My favorite is the "Hoopoo" searching for worms.








The seed eaters fight over their turn at the feeder, while they are more patient to wait in turn for a bath.









The sunbird flying over the nectar bottle was a surprise, as I really didn't even know it was there!





Thursday I finished my Children's Church lesson prep for the whole 12 weeks that I will be away in the US (Nov-Jan), using up one whole ink cartridge!

Friday, knees feeling 100% better, we attempted another beach, Plettenberg Bay Lagoon. This time only walking for about 1/2 hr and then settling into the sand for a picnic lunch and listening to a couple sermons on podcast. In this lagoon we saw many Sea Cucumbers and I found some very long "Fingernail" shells (don't know proper name, but if I had glued them on, they would make any woman jealous!)









Saturday, I am craving internet time (not available at the house anymore), so while Nathan is fishing... I am hanging out online while he hangs out his line! Check out the fish that the guy next too him just caught (literally while I was typing this)!
