Nature

I think I'm meant to live in the country. I love the quiet roads, open space, and just being closer to lots of wonderful creatures. The other day I woke up to the usual chorus of birds around our house. Went for a surf where I was surrounded by at least 15 dolphins. At one stage I thought they were surrounding me to then have a go (dolphins can be a little aggressive), but they were just getting into position to surf. And surf they did. At one stage I got caught inside and looked over to see a few jump through the shore break with ease to head further out. I caught a wave where I nearly got hit by one down the line- he dropped in!

 Then, at the end of the day, after the kids were asleep, I went for a mountain bike ride at Mandeni, where I saw the usual wallabies and a couple of wombats, oh and nearly ran over a brown snake! What I initially thought was a dark, large stick across the track, was not. In the moment I had to adjust I thought I was heading around the tail end of the snake. It wasn't and as I flew past it had a go at my shoe. No harm done.

Ahhh, country life. Beautiful!
