Life's a Beach

Yesterday evening we drove down to Melkbosstrand for a wee walk on the beach. Daisy (the dog) was so excited to be in the car, she didn't really mind what the destination. Unfortunately we can't let (lazy) Daisy off her lead at the beach because she just runs back to the car, funny dog.
We took the coast road and for some 5kms or more the sea was a medley of colour with more than 300 kite surfers enjoying themselves along with a few board sailers. the wind was pumping as it does at this time of year but what a joy to smell the sea, breath in the fresh air and stretch the lazy legs. Timothy and the girls joined us and while Rowland paddled in the shallows Timothy and I took a short walk. Koeberg power station always brings to mind a James Bond movie (of old of course) and it was especially eerie yesterday with the mist rising around the building.
I always enjoy the evening drive along the beach front, even out of season it's really good to see how many people extend their day after work by going out and having fun.
To one and all we wish you a Happy New Year, dinner awaits tonight, my mouth waters when I think of the Salmon Roses I intend to enjoy before the Kingklip Bento Box.
So, in 2010 remember to find the joy and share it.
