The Beach

We had a really low key weekend at home, this past weekend. Saturday we took a walk up one of the hills by the house that we had never been up to see where it went, and to see the view. We found out that its the old road to Bervie (aka Inverbervie but the locals call it Bervie for short). We didn't walk all the way to Bervie, but did probably walk about a mile down the road and to the top of one of the hills. You could see the beach from that hill too and the trees to the other side. Along our walk we passed a fenced field that had some horses in different fenced areas. There were two pure white horses in one of them, a black stallion in another one and a Shetland Pony in the other one. Jeff loves horses so that was a real treat for us to see them. We also seen on the way back where there's an area where someone has the honey traps that are swamping with bees.
Saturday afternoon Jeff put some ribs and a brisket on his new smoker. Yummy! A taste of home that we both were really looking forward too. It was really good and we are thinking about doing the same thing this weekend for 4th of July. Yes, we will be the only ones celebrating it here, but hey........we're still Americans! ;)

Saturday we walked to the beach. Its about a mile from the house, on the other side of the coastal highway. The beach by our house isn't much to look at since its a lot of rocks, no sand and the high tide gets so far in that the ground is kind of rocky and muddy close to the waters edge. But it is pretty nice to walk down there and see it. Sunday it was overcast and wasn't that clear, so the pictures aren't the best. It was a little chilly too, but we really enjoyed the walk and seeing the sea. And its nice to be able to walk in the area just around the house and see so much.

The hillside looking back from the beach. That's Bervie on the lower hill to the right. I know its so overcast you can't really see it. Maybe on a clear day I can get a good picture.

Our sea shipment is getting closer by the day. Next week, we should have our stuff. I'm looking forward to it. I can't even stress that enough! So next week I'm sure I'll be busy getting things arranged around the house. I'll post pictures as soon as we are done. Then shortly after that we are going to have a housewarming party and invite some of the people we have met since we've been here. So we are looking forward to that!
