We moved to Australia in 2015 so my brain knows that December here is summer. But this time last year I was back in the UK from November through to March and it seems my brain has reverted to December must be winter.
Here are a couple of photos comparing my summer Christmas and my winter Christmas.

A delightful beach day today as it was a public holiday here. Blue skies, sunshine, warm weather …..
…..And the essentials for a visit to the beach (Tasmania October 2021). Face masks are mandatory outside of our homes. So yes, people were walking on the beach wearing one. Hopeful this restriction will stop tomorrow (fingers crossed).
I’m linking this post to Becky’s October Squares for the theme “perspectives” and “blue”.

Whilst walking on our local Howrah Beach recently, I noticed this star fish. There had been some significant erosion after strong high tides.
This is my contribution to HeyJude’s Life in Colour challenge, which is highlighting orange this month.

Pacific sunrise at Manly Beach.
Six months ago, this was the perfect way to celebrate the end of hotel quarantine and getting back to my Aussie life.

Whilst in Rotorua we visited the Redwood Treewalk. A walk across twenty eight swing bridges, with information on each tree platform about the hundred year old redwood trees and the tree ferns below.
We were staying near Lake Rotorua so took a walk along the banks at dusk.

We’ve just returned from a fabulous holiday in New Zealand. A highlight was returning to Piha Beach after thirty five years.
This secluded ocean beach was just as I remembered. It’s black sand and the towering Lion Rock, remnants of its volcanic history.
The Brit in me still found it amazing to be in such a beautiful place, in such weather, on new year’s eve.

Today, Surf Safari celebrated 50 years of continuous surf craft racing in Tasmania – making it the longest running surf craft event in Australia.
Surf boards, kayaks, outriggers and surf boats, raced over courses from 2km to 28km with competitors of all age groups. After a stormy night the weather improved slightly but conditions were tough for the longer races, out on the open water.
This year, it was held on our local beach so I wondered along, took some photos, enjoyed a coffee and a famous Aussie “sausage sizzle” 🙂

Whilst out for a walk on a new beach recently, we came across these wooden stumps jutting out of the water. I love the texture, the shadows, the reflections and of course another beautiful warm sunny day in Tassie.
