More (exclusive) Beach-time!

 

It's definitely summer-time, December is as hot and sticky as November was wet. Today the sky is a vibrant, impenetrable blue and a lazy breeze rustles the palm fronds in our garden. It's a great day for the hammock! After school the long white-sand beach in front of our house is dotted with dispersed clusters of bathers and whooping children running on the beach, all making that quick outing to enjoy the last of the afternoon sunshine....

 

To avoid the 'crowds' we girls prefer to head off to our exclusive bathing spot on the south coast, we were there a few days back. Mato and 'mana had a riot......and to top it all off we had home-made brownies with pistachio ice-cream for dessert when we got back home (my first proper batch here in Rurutu, made with a secret stash of pecan nuts smuggled from Tahiti), what could be better!
