Matauri Bay

It's mid-Winter, but Sunday seemed like a good day to go to the beach, so we went for a stroll on Matauri Bay. It's only half-an-hour from home and it's the best beach in the area. Despite there being a cool breeze elsewhere, it was pretty calm and sheltered on the beach and the sun was strong. Not many sun-bathers out, but there were a handful of people in the water seemingly collecting mussels.

Just beside the beach is a row of Norfolk Pines. We really should get some of these for our garden!
