Sunday 3rd February 2013, 3.55pm (day 528)
Well, I’m sure it’s very spiritually fulfilling to spend February Sundays all huddled up around a good fire but this year, frankly, give me this kind of thing. This is the stairway down to the beautiful – and mostly empty – South Port beach, at the mouth of the Onkaparinga river just south of Adelaide. Visited the vineyards of the McLaren Vale today and then drove back (or was driven back, by my excellent hostess Caroline) along the side of the Southern Ocean, and enjoyed the whole thing.
Being 42 
Nice, warming shot with the promise of a beautiful beach at the foot of the stairs. Far preferable to today’s London gloom!
