Happenings Here.

During the last week or so the Grandsons and their parents have been here doing various things. Son set  his net out across the stream beyond the estuary. Here he is at low tide ( about 7.30 pm ) going across the mud to get to the stream..

 Early next morning he retrieved the net 

and it's contents.

 The Parore were thrown back and 1 flounder and 2 yellow eyed mullet and 2 small kahawai were kept.

The flounder was pan fried in butter - very fresh and tasty. 

The others were soaked in brine and smoked but proved to be too salty , so J will try again.

4 year old Grandson( seen in the 3 above photo as the fishing helper and messenger )  has picked the butter beans he grew several times. He knows how to plant the seed, care for the plants, pick the beans, top and tail the beans then  Nanny ( me ) cooks them and we all eat them.

 Smaller grandson can build quite high towers ( for a 16 month old ).  R made all the wooden toys seen here. 

 He is keen to hit balls too. Seen here being shown a suitable grip.

 Then trying it out.

 I hope 2020 means we are all going to see clearly what we should do this year.

 Happy New Year!
