Girvan or Apollo Bay?

On Australia Day we decided to visit the beach. There were certainly some similarities between Girvan and our favourite beach, Apollo Bay, Australia. However we'll look forward to some more sun when we return to Oz.In the photo below, behind Greg you can see the island of Ailsa Craig. It's a granite island, made famous for two reasons. Firstly, they make world-renowned curling stones for the sport, curling, where stones are thrown across an ice rink to get as close to the 'house' as possible (similar to lawn bowls). Secondly, there are huge numbers of gannets that nest here so the island has become a bird sanctuary. Whilst reminiscing about the beach and home, Jane had a deep thought: You never know when you're going to be torn from stability so make each moment count.
