It’s the end of March, we should be in the full of Autumn with Winter approaching but the balmy almost tropical evening made it feel like the height of Adelaide summer.

Behind me the beach is packed with people. Above me they stroll the jetty. Evening picnics are in full swing and a wedding band is rocking a local cafe. Shrill crys of laughter from the outdoor patrons of the Ramsgate Hotel seem to make there way down to the beach to join in the fun.

In front of me, the jetty stretches out to sea. Under her the sea is calm and golden and for a moment I can imagine her all to myself on this beautiful evening.
