The lull before the storm

My title is not referring to the weather, but the fact that I am down here in Dunsborough again, “minding” the beach-house during leavers week.  Yah, the town is expecting thousands of teenagers to rock up any minute now and start being extremely loud, boisterous and drunken.  In fact I have reliable intelligence that some had already started the partay-ing last weekend…  But this morning Sienna and I were up and on the beach bright and early (thanks, Mum for the wake-up phone call…) and all was quiet and beautiful and peaceful… hardly a soul in sight;  the only sound being the swoosh of the tide and the squawking of sea-birds.  So I’m wondering where all the teenagers are, so far.  Too early, maybe?  Sensibly sleeping?  Anyhoo, Mum will be coming to keep me company for today, we may catch a little morning tea and another stroll along the sand… discussing weighty worldly issues such as our sewing and wardrobe plans.

  1. I like those kinds of worldly plans and your dog still looks funny!! Don't worry – mine looks exactly the same except she's black and white – but how happy are they on the beach – love it!

  2. Oh, these photos make me want to pack up and come for a visit. As my thermometer plummets, you are strolling in such lovely colors and wearing flip-flops.

  3. Beautiful beach shots…did you put the starfish back in the water? Have fun with your Mom. I have not been sewing much-still working on my winter handbag from a reclaimed coat. Note to self:do NOT try this again.

  4. Maybe they were so busy partying last night that they will not wake up until noon? I hope you have earplugs and no trouble!

  5. Oh jeesh, sounds like spring break shenanigans on American beaches. They are probably all hung-over … No no, they are sensibly at home getting their calculus homework done before heading for the partying later, right, of course? or it's the end of the school year for you, so I go back to my original theory 🙂 I must say your photos are lovely and I can't imagine they might be later in the day. Hope your particular corner of that loveliness stays quiet.
