Let’s Hit The Beach!


Here is a post from December four years ago which I thought you might like to see again. with a few extra photos added.

December is the start of summer in Australia so here are some of the girls ready for the beach.

Kate and Mandy have recently arrived from England so Kate is being sun smart and has “slip,slop, slapped”.  Mandy did remember to bring a cover up.

Anna is wearing her pearls to the beach. “No problem.” she says, “Pearls come from oysters and oysters live in the sea. They will be fine.”

Bonnie is the practical one who will remind the others to swim between the flags and look out for beach nasties such as the blue ringed octopus and to re-apply their sunscreen.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  3. I’m feeling a little summer envy, as it is cold, wet and stormy here, just a tiny bit. Anna’s Bikini looks great, I like that style.

    • If I were a bikini wearer that’s probably what I’d choose too or Bonnie’s one piece would probably be more my style although these days I’d probably want a little skirt on it too. 🙂
