first walk on the beach


After a week of panadol, cough medicine and billions of cups of hot tea, it was nice to be able to get out of bed (both Dougal and me at the same time), and spend the gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon outside.
We went to Copacabana Beach, had coffee, chatted with locals, watched kids playing around and Isabelle took her very first walk on the beach by herself. Our little monkey. So confident and happy, she could conquer the whole world.

And then we watched the whales at Captain Cook Lookout, and saw a couple of them, breaching and enjoying the winter sun just like we were.

Dinner was big and comforting (and home-made, of course), because we do need our comfort food at the moment: hot smoked river trout with oven roasted oranges, carrots and parsnips, Jamie's good old French bean salad and a ricotta and cherry cake. Life is good! x
