To day is wet cold and windy, a good day to stay inside, although we did go in to get papers and pick up some lovely beef pies from ,y posh pie lady.The weather wasnt as bad then, now it is horrid.
Yesteray was cold and windy but clear.
We went to Bashams Beach and saw several whales, mothers and calves but they were not terribly close in and the sea was a bit rough, this was the best photo on my little camera, a mother and calf with a flipper raised up.
These are southern right whales who have been coming back in increasing numbers to calve and mate.
Over 50 years a go when John and I were first married it was extremely rare to see them, although I do remember a dead one washed ashore, now they are a tourist attraction.
his nice little carving was by the viewing platform and I then did a short walk along the bike track towards this lovely old stone building. That is not a wall infront but a long stone trough.
Today is a day to try and finish my little big foot women, by the fire.

I like the carving, and the thought of seeing whales is very exciting, Penny.
Great photos - we get Humpback whales up here in increasing numbers every year - thrilling to see. Enjoy yourself by the fire. Cheers.
That is wonderful to see the Whales.. we live by the ocean but I have never seen a whale. although down the coast they have whale watching tours... you are so lucky to see them from the land.
P - beautiful day for a stroll - and what a reward from nature. Hoping that means your getting so much more mobile and pain free? Go well. B
That's a joy to hear that the whales are increasing in number. Love the stitching in the previous post too.
