Hello and welcome to all the new friends out there who have decided to follow along on this adventure! I don’t really understand how all of this is working but I’m blown away by the response and interest. Just checked and there are 321 subscribers. Woo hoo!
Today has been a great day. We managed to get outside for more than just the weather station readings for the first time in what feels like ages. I think we were bordering on cabin fever if the state of the living room is anything to go by. I decided two days ago to rip up a corner of the room to replace the dodgy floorboards and let’s just say… that was not my finest hour as the photograph demonstrates… but it’s almost back together now!
The sun was shining after lunch today so we hiked down to the small inlet known as Seal Cove and perched ourselves on the clifftop high above the beach. Yes! We have seals! I took so many pictures of them, and, uhm… Louis. Listen. It’s not my fault. The camera loves him and it’s hard, even in this amazing environment, to drag the lens away from him so I make no apologies.
Anywaaay… where was I? Oh! Seals. They’re such majestic creatures and we got to watch them from afar lazing around on the rocks for a couple of hours. It’s fascinating how hard they work to move around on land compared to how graceful they are in the water and surfing the waves. We stayed until the sun started to fade and the air got cold and then wandered back to the cottage.
There’s a pot of stew simmering away on the stove which is going to need my attention soon so I’ll sign off for now.
Lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
No Going Back
