Weekends spent lazing between two palm trees catching up on each others news. There lives are nearly back to normal, besides for wearing masks when out and about.

My new little assistant for my new little photography studio 😊. There is change in the air for all of us.

This is how we spend our afternoons standing on the edge of the water trying to spot a familiar head bobbing about in the sea. By the time we go home us swimmer spotters feel as exhausted as if we’d been out in the waves😅.

Running free on an empty beach with the sun on their backs. They have no idea how lucky they are.

As the sun slowly set over the ocean a rainbow arched up over Rempart Mountain behind us. The winter waves have returned to Tamarin bay bringing out all the surfers young and old into the water. It’s lovely to see the bay so full of life again.

Her bags have been packed and ready to go for a couple of days now. With the two compulsory face masks. The alarm was set extra early this morning just in case there was any chance she didn’t wake up in time. At long last after 4 1/2 months school has started again.

We said good bye to an old family friend this week

We said good bye to an old family friend this weekend.... our beloved blue bakkie. We’ve had her since we arrived on the island 14 years ago. She’s carried dogs, bikes, surfboards and a multitude of kids all around the island. We’ve hosted birthday parties, halloween parties and numerous picnics from the back of the truck. I know there’s sadder situation in the world right now but in our little world this was a pretty sad day. She’s gone off to lead a gentle life in the shade selling fruit and veg on the side of the road. It’s an end of an era. ( excuse the old blurry photos😉)

The sky covered us with a blanket of clouds.

We pitched our tents under the trees on the beach

We pitched our tents under the trees on the beach between two beautiful empty hotels. Our children road their bikes round and round the dirt path making ramps and routes for each other. While we settled into our beach chairs around the fire with our drinks watching the sun go down on what I think is one of the most beautiful beaches in Mauritius. Normally this stretch of the island would be bustling with holiday makers now its empty and quiet. The hotels and beaches are ready and waiting for our borders to reopen.

With nearly all of our internal restrictions being lifted, restaurants are opening and the wonderful Mauritian street food is available again. Mine frite on the beach and chilly salt sprinkled pineapple stripes along the side of the road. Life is slowly and quietly coming back to the streets.

As soon as our girls spotted the surfer out in the waves with his dog surfing with him on his board they rushed to join them in the waves. His dog was incredible jumping on and off his board he even had a little surf with Faye. Our lazy dogs watch from the comfort of a shady spot on the beach.

Golden afternoons back on the beach. Mauritian beaches are open again.

Oh I love a big old African tree.

Today is world ocean day. It’s a bit tough to celebrate it here in Mauritius when we are still officially not allowed out on the water or on public beaches. I am hoping that the less activity in the sea has helped the marine life, especially our local dolphins. A few weeks ago we spotted some whales in the distance but we haven’t been so lucky again.
