Tawharanui

I drove one hour North to Sarah's family crib for one night of fresh air and lapping water.

We walked along the beach drinking wine in the evening, and walked along the beach drinking coffee/tea in the morning.

I tried desperately to read my book club book for the next evening (Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse) but kept getting distracted by Oscar the cat, red wine, freshly caught fish, a mulled wine plum and meringue dessert and lovely company.
