Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Sunny.

I discovered why the leaves on one of my tomato plants were full of holes. There were a couple of green caterpillars including this one munching his way through one of the fruit. Considering how few fruit there are it was very annoying.
It has been another lovely sunny day so at last we were able to go down to Barricane Beach for an al fresco curry. We weren't expecting it to be quite so crowded but this is still summer holiday time. 
Fortunately we were able to sit at one of the 4 tables and didn't have to take our plates and sit on the sand. The meal was a selection of chicken and vegetable dishes served with rice and poppadums. The curry was quite mild but very tasty and of course there is nothing like eating with a view of the sea. One of the nice things about this place is that they use china plates and mugs. I don't like drinking from a plastic or paper cup and paper plates are just ............. for kids. Peter brought himself some wine from home, a lot of people had brought bottles of wine or glasses of beer. 
After we had eaten we had a stroll on the beach then went up and sat on a bench on top of the cliff. It was so peaceful watching the waves while a warm wind blew and the sun shone down from a cloudless sky.

Lovely photos, especially the last one. I appreciate all the beauty that you share with us. What are papadoms? Thank you.

I don't know what papadoms are either.

Beautiful photos.

Looks like the caterpillar made a mad face out of that tomato. : )

Poppadoms are thin, crispy flour & spice discs cooked on a dry heat so no fat in them. They are usually about 6-8 inches across. A bit like a healthy giant cracker but very thin like potato chips.
