Oh dear....

Oh dear, indeed.  The forecast was right......
Dropped C & K off in town early - they were booked on the pre-convention boat trip along the coast of the beautiful Abel Tasman.  As I pulled away having dropped them off the first splashes of rain fell onto the windscreen....

The rain worsened as the day developed so I wasn't surprised to get a text saying they were heading back rather earlier than planned.  Not surprised but very disappointed for them and the other guests who would all have been hoping to see and get amongst the pristine golden sands of the Abel Tasman.  Instead they arrived back damp and with few images, wanting hot tea, a warm shower, homely cottage pie and a glass of wine to wash it all down with.

From my perspective, I barely stepped beyond the back door during the day hence the very iffy leafless tree pic. 

Took Minnie's biscuits and treats to the SPCA only to find they closed at 3pm, not 4pm as I'd thought.  Will have to visit again.  Still missing my beautiful girl and doing things like this makes it a bit harder too.
