I had been walking on the beach early with my dog Illy. There was a low king tide and the wet sand reflected the intense blue of the sky. There were more birds on the rocks than usual and the roll of a gentle swell had the definite sound of Autumn. I walked back up the hill through the foreshore pondering the beauty of the beach early in the day and the best time to experience it.
A great start to the day is waking up in the morning to the warble of magpies, or laughter of kookaburras, perhaps a walk on the beach before a steaming hot show outdoors and then settling under the tree on the verandah for a good fresh cup of coffee.
We have two properties that, over time, we have decided to share with guests. On the surface they appear very different. No.1 William St is a stone cottage built in the early 1850’s as home for the stone mason and his family. The Studio Somers is cement sheet holiday house built nearly 100 years later.
