Sun, sea and good food by maggiemae

Sun, sea and good food

A seaside cafe where we once more enjoyed wedges and wine! There were two customers who recognised John from the Burt Munro Challenge and wanted to chat. This place was near Kaikoura on the East Coast of NZ

Three good things:
1. The wedges had bacon and cheese and mushrooms together with the sour cream so necessary!
2. Not far to home - only one more night
3. The whole summer ahead of us - sorry, you Northern Hemisphere people!
Oh that looks so inviting....and WARM!!

Wonderful image! I want to be sitting there enjoying the view and the warmth! How nice that people recognise John. Love the colour of the sea! Fav!

Looks like a warm, inviting place. I love how you've been processing your photos lately. Love the warmth in them.
Are wedges made from potatoes?
December 12th, 2013  
That looks just lovely. The colors are so warm and inviting.

@smellychelli I'm sorry you don't know the word! Wedges are like quartered potatoes, rolled in spicy herbs and then fried in deep oil! I would think they would be semi cooked using a steaming process first!

Looks inviting and anywhere by water is a winner for me. Instantly relax😊

Oh that looks so warm and wonderful. I can smell the sea mixed with the wonderful food aromas. I am so envious, being trapped here in the deep freeze.

Looks wonderful! What's the Burt Muro challenge? Are you married to a VIP? ;)
December 12th, 2013  
@stimuloog Burt Munro was a fellow who modified his 1920 Indian bike and eventually set a world speed record. A film was made about him called "The Worlds Fastest Indian" He was my hubby's Dad. They have a series of motorbike races held in Invercargill every Nov, called the Burt Munro Challenge! John is a VIP is a lot of peoples mind - mine also, but for a different reason!

Pretty shot. Love the blues in this shot. Awwww, summer! My area has a winter storm watch issued for tomorrow. What a difference in climates.
December 12th, 2013  
Looks like a beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Well-composed shot, with great light and shadow. I'm not minding the winter here too much yet; it's the period after Christmas and before spring that is the hard slog for me.
December 13th, 2013  
Well, you can enjoy the sun and warmth for us! And we will enjoy your pictures.
December 13th, 2013
