I’ve started a mailing list: join the journey

Join the mailing list to get notes from the road, stories from forgotten places, local history and the everyday curiosities of my island home.

Just what I was doing wandering the Esplanade at St Clair at half past five in the morning is hard to say. I think it had something to do with the anticipation of a colourful sunrise. I’d envisaged the beach at low tide with the sky lighting up a wonderful array of yellow and orange hues as the first rays of daylight took over the night. Unfortunately, it didn’t eventuate in the slightest, and the tide was higher than expected. So, I spent the time wandering the Esplanade as the local cafés hurriedly prepared for another busy day’s trade.
