G’day everyone and welcome to the Sand Castles! Why Sand Castles?  Well, first, we live in a very great place close to the prestine Cottesloe Beach and Leighton, all just minutes away to walk from our very own cul de sac.   And yes of course, what’s more idyllic is the walk to and fro in the sparkling stretch of sand of these beaches.  When the weather is not too bad, meaning beautiful and just perfect, we get on our thongs or you call it tsinelas or flip flaps and down we go to the beach where Melody and Bien are either chasing the waves or hording seashells to add up to their collections.  And if its early morning, as hubby does on summer, run to the famous Cottesloe and swim just before the rest of the population of the Western Suburbs are awake (and the member of his household too).  Me, (am the writer and a care taker as you know) not quiet fitness ambitious but…getting there I tell ya.  So I treat my self to a solitaire walk (once hubby comes back from his swim) along the footpaths of Rule Street to Minim Cove to Mosman Park that overlooks the river Swan, have I mentioned the alluring mystic blue waters of the Swan River here in Western Australia? Oh, you’ve got to ger here to see and to believe. Most of the lucky and precious mornings I have is that, I get to see the dolphins swimming as well.  I don’t take my eyes off them, I just watch until they dissappear, maybe hiding under the boats in the jetty or just sneaking through, ready to surprise someone else from the other side of the river. Or other times, the fellow walkers,dogs leashed or unleashed, ready to smile or mutter Hello, good mawnin, howarya?

And finally, CASTLES, well if you know us, you will know why, but Just in CasE! (as my girl would say)….that’s one of our two syllable name.  I fancy saying we live in a Castle, but nuh!  our tiny (to Aussie Standard) abode is much more fun and cosy for little darlings to mock around.

So till next time,I must say, seeyaladeron and for the mean time, keep the barbies smokin!

Oh, by the way, I seldom give a speech, so let me take this opportunity to do so.  Here it goes, To the extra talented, wonderful, innovative, ever resourceful, My goodnes! ridiculously loyal siblings Catherine Ann  and Goldwyn, thanks for putting up with me, and very much so for being the pillars of this website.  You done it, just have to bear with it for the rest of your lives(hahahahahhahah).  Cheers to you both.
