We've taken a few days out to go camping on the Coromandel - a peninsula of bush-clad mountains and sandy beaches just 90 minutes drive from Auckland.
This is gorgeous Whiritoa Beach, just south of Whangamata on the east coast - on Boxing Day before the hoardes of holidaymakers arrive!
I'm sure you can understand that sewing isn't really on my mind while I'm here, but I'll be back with the rest of the Ruby Slip Sew-along soon! Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season too!
Wow!! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteHere in the UK it's grey and dreary!
This is an awesome place - I can't believe it's a mere 90 minutes away from you. It's like 92 hours by plane away from me :-)

ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Whiritoa. I'm in Kennedy Bay with my family for the holidays. Hope the rain storms aren't so bad where you are and that there's plenty of fish to catch. Happy holidays!
