It's been a very busy weekend so far.
Tony and I went for a walk yesterday.
As you can see it was a beautiful day.
We walked along side the creek.
The path was lined with native plants.
Lots of little birds were flitting about.
Over the creek.
And in to the wetland area.
Then off the path and over the railway line.
For beautiful ocean views.
The sea defences are made from cooled lava.
We walked along to the beach.
And spied an old broken down jetty.
Then walked back under the railway line.
The beach is not quite sand.
Seems to be a popular spot, some one had built a shelter under the railway bridge and collected a lot of firewood. There was evidence of past fires.
Once back on to the wetland path we found this chap.
And this sign. No dog with us, so on we went.
It was quite difficult to get photos of the birds, but I tried.
There were lots of ducks and geese and that lonely chap at the bottom of the image is a pukeko. (Clicky for those who need to know about Pukekos).
The little lagoon was busy with lots of birdlife.
The tide was out and we could see their foot prints in the mud flats.
Did I mention that it was a beautiful day?
The rowing club use the creek as it is very sheltered.
We saw three other tracks that we could have followed, and agreed that we would come back another day to explore.
I collected some souvenirs for my pebble jar.
That was Friday afternoon, after a busy morning of chores.
In the evening we went out with friends.
Today, Saturday has been very busy. I've made a slow cooked lamb curry as we are off out again tonight to a pot luck curry night. While looking for some lunch in the pantry I came across some tomatoes that really needed to be used so a batch of relish was made, along with onion bhajis and naan to go with the curry. I've repaired the kitty cats scratching pole. She had ripped off all the sisal cord, so it has been replaced.
Phew!
It feels like two days of non stop.
Maybe tomorrow I'll have a slow stitching Sunday.
After I do something with the rhubarb I was given last night.

Thank you for taking us along on your walk, Lou! Love your pebbles, they are very interesting.....and so different. If you are looking for a nice rhubarb treat, look up 'rhubarb custard bars'.
Such a lovely walk, always nice to see birds busy going about their business. I like the sound of your cooking too, all seems very tasty indeed.
