First Beach BBQ

Sunday 21st January 2007
Today we were invited by Tim from TMI to a beach bbq. The beach was about 60 mins outside Auckland at a place called Maraetai. Lovely beach with white sands, a bit of surf and hardly any people there. this we are coming to realise is a theme on NZ beaches. Lots of lovely clean beaches and not many people. In fact the locals call it busy when there is someone else on the beach with you!!

We played a bit of beach cricket and chatted to Tim, his wife Anna and their friends. While the bbq was busy cooking our sausages a guy came a long with a camera and asked if he could take some photos of us. He is writing a book on Kiwi-ana and wanted a few photos of Kiwis doing what Kiwis do best - bbq on the beach. Eventually he left with several photos, most of which had the POMs at the front and all the photos had Millie posing for the camera. he assured us the book will be published next year in time for Fathers' Day. We'll have to wait and see!
