Monday 18^th November

SHE SAID:

It was a lovely blue-sky day in Albany today, rather windy but sunny & warm.

I managed to see 12 orchids for our day's wanderings; we also enjoyed the beach & ocean views for lunch & afternoon tea. The wind surfers on Princess Royal Bay were whizzing along in the strong breeze.

We got to Nat & Mike’s place around 4pm. Mike was home, as he is currently between jobs. Obi the cat was the first to greet us at the door, closely followed by Mike, then Willow eventually turned up when Nat got back from work.

I think it is a couple of years since we have met up, so we had plenty to talk about & Mike served a very fish themed tasty dinner.
