Collecting

Wednesday 2 January

The day was overcast.

We went stones collecting.

We went to one end of Newport beach

where we know there is a lot of rocks.

big tide= algae on the beach

somebody had built a little house of stones

Me being discreet while putting stones in my bag.

Claude refuse to steal.

After we walk the whole length of the beach,

Claude carrying the stone in a back pack.

Claude putting our loot around the roots of the

kumquat tree. It is not doing very well.

It had a lot of flowers and dropped them all.

So we are trying to keep its roots cool.

I think we will have to go again to collect 

some more.
