Fathers Day

I have never much taken an interest in Fathers Day, but it is now a big deal for the kids, with television advertising and brainwashing at school, so glad to play along. We went to visit Granny's new house being built in Yankalilla and went to the beach at Normanville. Despite the bracing weather conditions, 14 degrees and windy, the kids insisted on getting in the water. Not as much fun as they had hoped. They weren't too happy afterwards. It reminded me of many trips to Scottish beaches as a child when these sorts of conditions would be considered normal. At this time of the year there are many virtually deserted, beautiful beaches near Adelaide. We had lunch at the Normanville Beach Cafe. Very nice. Happy Fathers Day to all Dads.

Yes. It's true. Scottish people have different expectations of trips to the beach. First you freeze your balls of on the beach. Then you strip off and get in the water. My grandparents always said that it was warmer in the water than out of it. It probably is. Then you get out and freeze again as you put your clothes on. Shivery bites are a very accurate description of life support after even a short trip into the water.
