Where did everybody go?

So now the school holidays are over the site is so very quiet.  An ideal time to get away for a weekend break, relieve the stress of returning to work/school. Or even just to take advantage of how quiet it is. 

This weekend was all about family. Immediate and extended, life is so busy we sometimes find it hard to connect with those around us.  This weekend was catching up with sisters and nieces, aunties and cousins.  I have never seen such excited children running around the beach barefoot and in their fleeces.  

The beach is wonderful place, so therapeutic.  Just the sight of it immediates washes away the stress from the week. I immediately relax. Obviously supported by a sneaky Rattler at my favourite local.
