Hello everybody!! Our progress today: driving to St Helen’s, doing the laundry and grocery shopping at St Helens, buying some red currants, youngberries, peaches and apricots (the lady selling the fruit told us why we haven’t been seeing as much stone fruit for sale; it has been a very bad, cold season for stone fruit) driving to the Bay of Fire and digging a very deep and big hole. Overall a successful day. When we arrived at the Bay of Fire, I’ll skip what we did before that; it wasn’t all that interesting, we went for a walk to the right side of the bus; a large clump of rocks then a beautiful white sand and blue sea beach. After a delicious lunch of toastie toasties and the youngberries (like blackberries; delicious) from earlier, Gabby and I walked to the left side of the bus. Not as nice as the other side, the left side contained a large clump of rocks, then gritty sand. We walked, with great difficulty, back to the bus and rested, playing hand and foot. I, finally, beat Gabby at hand and foot, by a convincing 4000. We then walked back to the right side of the bus where we spent the next several hours digging a massive hole with Dad’s shovel; cheating, you may think. It was lots of fun and we ended up with a gigantic hole. After completing our hole, Gabby and I lounged around it in for a while until Mum and Dad came to congratulate us on our achievement.
For a lazy, restful afternoon, today has been good fun.
Maddy.
PS I lost my hair wrap today; it fell out while I was digging the hole.
