Down to the beach

Max on his first trip down to the beach.

This is Whangamata on the Coramandel.

We had a beach house right on the shore, all we had to do was walk down the garden & onto the beach.
Maz & I built an awesome sand castle on this beach...might show it you some time!


Three good things:
1. Jack has just been for a visit.
2. Lydia came last night for a chat.
3. I have been out & re stocked the fridge....funny how the less you go out the more you want to stay at home!!

What a truly delightful shot! And it reminds me of Suffolk seaside holidays as a child.

Great shot of a great beach, I love those yellow daisy's that are in the dunes at Whanga'

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

This is just a darling shot! So sweet!

[Graham Harcombe]

Super shot - he's off adventuring!!

[Diana Moss]

wow what a fun time to spend with Max, I just love this picture its a fav

[Judith Greenwood]

Fav for me - that's what I call an idyllic childhood - and indeed grandparenthood! I think it's the jetlag that keeps you in - takes a while to feel right again.

[Claire]

This is gorgeous perfectly beautiful

[Karin Hirsch]

So lovely and sweet. Great shot

[Peggy Scroggins]

If that is your yard, I would not go away either lol. Cute little boy.

Beach house sounds idyllic and learning about sandcastles is so important! Laziness is like this, Pat - the lazier you are the lazier you get - might apply to crazy too!

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

So sweet, what a life hey? I need to restock with food, I am getting complaints about lack of biscuits etc but just can't face Sainsburys for some days yet.

[Rick Schies]

That would be the life

Simply gorgeous, Pat! So cute with Max steadfastly making his way over the dune. Look forward to seeing some more shots from your holiday.

This is so sweet. He's such a little man

[Babs]

So sweet. A beautiful shot. Nothing better than walking on the beach.

[Dianne]

What a cute shot.

[Claire]

@happypat Why don't you concentrate on posting your shots for a while and leave the commenting until you feel more refreshed. :0)

[Sean O'Neill]

I could close my eyes and this is my Sam all those years ago, he had a hat just like this! Wonderful. A Fav for me, for the rekindled memories that have made me smile broadly.

[Pat Knowles]

@seanoneill Thank you Sean...I have so many photos like this of Max this time...a perfect subject !! Glad I jogged your memory, a precious time!!

[JH]

Its a rather timeless Christophery Robiny sort of hat he's wearing - lovely.

[Ruth Friday]

[Tamzin]
