Yes, you got it, it was Windsday! Watched the Winnie the Pooh video many, many times with our two when they were small. I've never tried windsurfing. I admire those who try and learn those kinds of adventurous sports. -Jenn

I write. I create. I observe and record my life, after 40 years, in Greece. I love to create either with my handy craft, cooking or writing. Freeform always. Keep it simple, keep the interest, make it useful. I write about my garden sometimes, my grandchildren and the different culture and traditions. My New Zealand up bringing was so different from this way of life that I do truly feel like an alien at times. Greece is home but so is my kiwi 'homeland'. I am a citizen of both and an alien in both.
He must have loved it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know "Winnie The Pooh" And The Blustery Day", but don't remember if they called It "something." :-)
It was ideal weather to zip from one side of the harbour to the other. Exhilarating I would imagine!!
DeletePerfect way to spend the day.
ReplyDeleteAlthough these days I’d look like a whale in a wet suit lol
You're daring just thinking about putting on a wet suit! Sure you'd look just fine
DeleteLucky him. I did try it once, I was OK going forwards, but couldn't make the wretched thing turn round. I gave up.
ReplyDeleteHe's been doing this for many years. Even at 40 odd he finds it the perfect way to enjoy the day.
DeleteHow lucky you are to live by the sea.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are. So much to do and see!
DeleteYes, you got it, it was Windsday! Watched the Winnie the Pooh video many, many times with our two when they were small. I've never tried windsurfing. I admire those who try and learn those kinds of adventurous sports. -Jenn
