#Spotted on an Evening Beach Walk in Aotearoa #newzealand
Three women (50s?) have set up easels on the sand and are quietly chatting as they paint. One's doing a vibrant water colour. One's going for acrylics. One hasn't started yet, but is drinking a glass of wine, grinning at the view.
A man and woman (70s?) are seated on camp chairs with their feet up on a driftwood log. They're both engrossed in their paperbacks, a low table of cheese and nibbles at their side. One's reading Mantel, the other le Carré. A breeze ruffling their hair.
A man with long curly hair (20s) runs out of the surf, trots up the beach and takes up a post over the top of his snoozing partner. He then shakes his hair, water droplets going everywhere. Shrieking, laughing and chasing ensues.
A big family arrives. Chilly bins, picnic rugs and beach toys are unpacked, followed by a portable pizza oven. People are laughing, bickering and playing. And in the middle stands a man (40s?) in board shorts and a bucket hat. He has one job, to make the pizzas. (They smell delicious.)
Two small humans (5 and 6?) and their Nan (60s?) have embarked on an epic driftwood hideout building project. Small humans are stacking armfuls of sticks, then doing little victory dances, Nan's going for a load bearing pillar. Avant-garde architecture is underway!
Any typos spotted in this post have decided that the best medium to paint with is a glass of wine. If typos spotted, please top up their glass and enjoy the view.
