Nana-napped!!


Welcome

I don't often post personal 'stuff', but I was "Nana-napped" for the weekend and taken to a beach for a weekend away with family.  It was a wonderful break, and I have a few photos to share.



The beach is on the east coast of the North Is (of New Zealand) so the sea is relatively calm, the weather was glorious on the Saturday, and the grandies enjoyed the water, later going further  in, in  their swimming gear. 


On Sunday morning, when the others had gone out, I had a very friendly visitor....


On Sunday the weather was starting to break, with the wind blowing in off the sea and the skies overcast, but that did not keep us off the beach.


I had a wonderful weekend, and was glad of the break, and thankful that we are in part of the country that means we can still move relatively freely, as other parts are in quite a restrictive lockdown still.

Glad you had such a wonderful weekend Maxine. Looking at your photos, I could literally smell the salty tang of the air and feel the sand beneath my feet. Something to look forward to when they finally relax our restrictions here :)

Wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

I haven't been to a beach since 2007, so I enjoy at least being able to see the photos and imagine myself being there.

Sorry to hear parts of NZ are in lockdown but I guess better safe than sorry. At least the PM is acting on figures, unlike ours where figures of 45,000+ per day is still not prompting action.
Anyway, lovely to see you being out and about, looks lovely and I can't think of anything nicer than being nan-napped. The pictures are lovely and the cat too.
Blessings, Neet xx
