At low tide the wet, flat sand of Lyall Bay makes a welcome canvas.
Sophie delighted in writing messages of love and mastered drawing hearts (a little something she’s been working on).

Charlotte drew pictures and made trails (with maths questions!) for me to follow.

They both asked for me to take a photograph and send a picture to their grandparents. I love that they asked me to do this.






Looks like they had a blast. Couple of talented wee artists you have there.
So lovely, and makes so homesick. The one thing I miss the most is the NZ countryside, the land, the sea and the coast. I keep trying to convince my Englishman that it would be a good thing to move back, but he sees it as a backward career step.
A wonderful canvas indeed and just love your drawings and writing in the sand….wish we could whisk ourselves there to join in for a bit of drawing time in the sand…your pictures are just gorgeous!!
