Blessings abound

Such a surprise this morning with frost and fog about but we were feeling warm and toasty inside the van. The heating had been running for a couple of hours though, but it still felt warmer than usual. We were comfortable with that and enjoyed the change.
We dumped at the site because it was there and that will set us up for the next few days.
We went into town which was only a couple of minutes drive and stocked up on some groceries and bakery items for lunch 😋. It's interesting the breed of cows 🐄 they have in Morrinsville and the fact that they are all around town. I took a couple of photos 📸 so maybe someone could identify what breed they are.
After the shopping it was a couple of hours drive to Snells Beach. Being a holiday weekend and the fact that it is school holidays, we expected the motorway 🛣 to be busy and slow traffic. However, we were blessed with the exact opposite. There was very little traffic, and what there was, was going in the opposite direction 😊. With the sun shining in through the windscreen it was another blessing keeping us warm and relaxed.
We arrived at our destination where there are five FC parks. None were occupied so we got the choice spot 👌. After being here for an hour, there was only one left. As the sun was shining we did a walk along the beach front which was beautiful even though there was a cool breeze. Along one section there were many pohutukawa trees, and around the base of them were little fairy type houses and interesting things for 'little' people. One photo we took was of a church with a bridal couple outside.
Our daughter Megan knew we were here, and so as a surprise for the two little ones, brought them down as a surprise to see granny 👵 and papa 😊. After walking along the beach again, we all sat around a picnic table enjoying coffee ☕️ and biscuits and talking. That was yet another blessing 🙌. We will be catching up with them again tomorrow as we will be staying in their driveway for a couple of days.
So, all in all, a very blessed day!
ps. I forgot to mention, the first blessing was bacon 🥓 and eggs 🪺 for breakfast.Read more
