A lovely sunny WARM day today. I went to Mass early then we drove to Levin which is a small town, about 45 mins away, that we have never visited. Quite a nice little town, but mostly closed because it was a holiday weekend but we managed to find somewhere to have lunch. After that we drove to Foxton Beach and that was brilliant: sunshine, blue sky, torquoise sea, NO WIND and everyone in holiday mood. Some brave souls/idiots were actually IN the sea - but not many. We walked along the beach for a while drinking in the atmosphere and those special sounds you hear only at the beach: crashing waves, seagulls, and the subdued wafting of people talking and laughing floating across sand. Then we sat on a piece of driftwood and just enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
It was just a taste of what we hope is to come, and tomorrow it will be 23degrees!
