beach rubbish

Most days Eddie and I take a stroll along the beach. There are not many days we don't come home without some rubbish. We find a lot of clothes pegs, which come from the oyster farms in the Whangaroa Harbour. They get cleaned and put into the peg basket at the camp laundry. Very convenient. Mostly we get bits of glass, fishing line and the odd bit of rope. Today we had quite a haul, which we had to dig for. First we pulled out an old onion bag attached to a rope, which would have been used for holding berley in while it dispersed around the fisherman. The other dig we had was for a very long piece of rope attached to an old net.

 They both would have made a marine animals life quite miserable if they had gone back out to sea. The net rope had barnacles on it, so it had been out in the ocean for a long time.

  2. Hi Jenny and Shiree,
    My Spanish is going along. Some days I wonder what I am doing, but I can't stop now. No Eddie can't speak it. It would be good if he did, then I could practice with him. We are in Waitangi now, for at least 2 weeks.
    Cheers for now Kay
