Walk to the beach

First thing this morning, we had to change rooms. So, a quick tidy around and the room was ready for a visitor arriving from WA (Western Australia).

Next, we decided to take a walk to the beach, as it was a lovely day. It took us about an hour at an easy pace. There was an outdoor swimming pool, a very busy lawn bowls club and a school trip visiting the beach! We took a seat and watched the world go by. We also watched the big black cloud that looked like it was dumping it's rain over the mountains. We hoped the wind would blow it in the opposite direction. However, we were wrong! The thunder rolled in, the fork lightning, amazing and oh boy, did it rain! We shelterd and waited for it to ease off before heading back. Half way home it started again... we took shelter in a bus stop. We set off again and made it as far as the local shops before it rained again! It looked like the rain was going to stay with us for a while but luckily, a nice kind lady from the grocery store dropped us home!

The evening was spent chatting to the friend from Perth and generally having a nice time....
