Moody Peninsula

Woke to rain, then it started to drizzle.  That is when I took this photo, on the way to watch little 'h' play Netball.  They had 2 games today, and won them both.  Little 'h' managed to get 3 goals!

In the afternoon the sun came out, so I went into town for a walk in the sun.  Just beautiful.

Today is blip no. 1915.
