We are staying in our friend's caravan in what Western Australians call 'Down South' which generally means the lovely Margaret River area of the SW of Australia. We are in a caravan with an built in annex and ensuite bathroom about 50 metres from the main house high on a hillside near Dunsborough.
Looking out of the window bright sunshine I can see Geograph Bay in the distance and we are in easy reach of many lovely beaches and vineyards.
So far every time we go to the beach we have a problem with our baby Adam. He normally loves splashing in water but he is afraid of the sand and even the shallow flat water of Geograph Bay he pulls his legs up and cries whenever we try to put him down on the sand.
Its such a huge change for him having been brought up in the inland areas of NE Thailand where babies are taught that they must never wear shoes in the house but but always wear them outside. Here it is almost the opposite with people wearing shoes in the house and going barefoot on the beach. Confusing.
I have much to do, starting to paint again, helping some friends design a greeting card, the possibiliy of running a workshop in Perth in few weeks time, moving my paintings around and fixing up my web site. Then there are endless beaches and wines to taste to visit. Such is life.
