Fun in the Sun

I woke up! Today was the perfect summer day & as we were granddaughter sitting we thought a day at the beach would be fun - and it certainly was. So we packed a picnic & drove up the road through the Waitakere Ranges to Cornwallis beach, it's a lovely long beach with lots of grass and trees but you can only swim when the tide is in otherwise you have to walk miles when it's out! I used to go there when I was young to stay in one of the baches (holiday home) right on the beach but many years ago they were all pulled down and it is now a council reserve. Mmmm I wonder if I can find any photos of those days - in the meantime here's a few I took today.
