Whanarua Bay |
We were delighted to be heading back to one of our favourite places on earth, Whanarua Bay to once again housesit for Stanley and his bird friends.
Stanley lives up in the village so we wondered down to the bay itself everyday for a wander around and a paddle.

James caught some wonderfully tasty crayfish.
Clare made some equally tasty bread.
Turmeric, cranberry and pumpkin seed Sourdough |
We were lucky enough to be invited to a dear friends wedding down in the bay too, which was a very special treat!
We were short term custodians of a mumma Thrush whilst she sat on her eggs.
There is nothing quite like the sun going down on the bay. We will never get sick of the view.
Next we were back in Matata for an overnight sit for our girls Freya and Kaia. Poor Magoo had passed away tragically since we last sat for these special girls.

We went from here to another short sit in the next town of Edgecumbe. Here we were in the company of Tess, Spud and Casper.
It was only a matter of minutes before Casper made himself at home on James's lap!
Then we had a good rumble around on the floor.
We enjoyed the company of these cuties even if it wasn't for very long.
