Robert's Ramblings

Farewell Tin Tin. You were an amazing friend to us nearly 16 years until you slipped away from us in your sleep today.

This image of Jennifer and Tin Tin was taken only four days ago. It was his last day on the beach sniffing rotting seaweed, other dogs backsides and shying from the huge Henley Beach surf.

We are so lucky you lived so many years strong, healthy, often ditsy, always food obsessed and never quite grown up.

Thank you Tin Tin for your gorgeous nature, your beautiful temperament and for being our family's best friend.

With autumn nearly over and winter on its way our beach is starting to take on a disheveled windswept look.

Clumpy, patchy, pools of water where the ocean has scoured the sand and piles of seaweed heaped here and there.

No longer the postcard place of summer but still as beautiful as the seasons change.

Winter is coming ...
