We met Shirley and Roy for a second time, this time with much better weather. It was cold but clear and sunny, the mountains and water being shown to their best effect.
We met at our usual haunt for a spot of lunch, and this time we could look out of the windows and have a lovely view across the water to the snowy capped mountains of the distant mainland.
We had Angus with us this time and after lunch we went on to Ships Point where Shirley and Roy have a holiday cottage.
The cottage is just off of the beach, so we took the dog along the shore for a walk and to make the most of the sunshine. It was very cold though, there was ice forming on the shoreline
We had a good walk along with Roy while Shirley made a cup of tea. We were able to hear seals barking out in the bay, but couldn't see them.
Roy told us all about the area, as we were walking along, but soon the cold got the better of us and we headed back indoors for a hot cup of tea.
We spent a lovely afternoon chatting and hearing about new places to visit, and all too soon had to make our way back home.
On our way we passed through Fanny Bay, just as the sun was beginning to set. The colour of the sky was soft pink, and the water a soft baby blue. We found a spot to sit in the car and watch until the light failed and we had to head home to get warm
Spectacular. Our photos do not do it justice.
