It is summer holidays here!

Hello Folks,
It has been sunny, blue skies and a few seaside breezes and still very much in holiday mode.
The children do not go back to school until January 22nd, it is the long summer break and Christmas and New Year all rolled into one.





The big mall gets very crowded at this time of year, but the new local Waterstone village shopping is now open, and it is much quieter.











This is a picture of the entrance to our local "Tesco" .










The beaches are full of people having fun, we go most days in the late afternoon when it is not too hot, and we paddle along in the waters edge for an hours exercise, sometimes a big wave catches us out and we get our shorts wet as well.









It is particularly good to see people of every race enjoying the lovely beaches as when I was here in the early 80's I can remember signs that said "whites only".









Credit is due to the people of this country of all races, who have transformed it in 12 years.....

I will get Paul to add the pictures and then off to bed.
Love from
Di and Paul
