The sand,the sea & the sky. by happypat

The sand,the sea & the sky.

Waihi Beach, one of many glorious beaches we spent time walking along.
There is a cafe next to this beach called The Flat White Cafe where we like to have a meal.

After 7pm it is dog walking time so Izzy likes to have a run, but no going in the sea thank you!

Three good things:
1. A morning with the Sunday papers.
2: An afternoon by the fire with a packet of 'Snakes' made by The Natural Confectionery Co. in Australia....I bought three bags back!!!
3.Visitors popping in for a coffee just as we were getting ready for a bit of alternative company.
beautiful!

@maggiemae This beach is about an hours drive from our sons, the one that milks cows on the Waikato maggiemae. One of their regular haunts.
