Zinkwazi - Ballies Weekend Away

Muz you look different in this photo

This last weekend saw the official start to Summer. It’s now already the 3rd December, so Summer really should be in full swing, but until this weekend, I don’t think any of us really felt that this time of year was any different to any other. Throw in a coastal cottage, swimming pool, a view of the sea and daytime beers and your perspective suddenly changes.

It was Mike and Jane’s turn to organize a weekend away and they settled on Zinkwazi up the North Coast. The house we stayed in was modest yet effective. Nothing fancy about it, but capable of sleeping up to 14, TV, hi-fi and awesome bar area included, within a minute’s walk to the beach and of course, the star of the party, the salt water pool in the garden.

Saturday was spent literally all day in or around the pool. Activities included a bit of garden cricket using the metal equivalent of a pool cue for a cricket bat, and some garden footie with Mike and I taking on Verve and Muz. The footie ended in a 10-10 draw after I managed to boot the ball over the fence (Have it !!!) and was evidently stolen while I recovered in the pool for a few minutes. Based on the amount of uncontrollable wheezing and panting I was pumping out, recovery time was essential, but also quite concerning considering we were playing on 4m X 3m pitch.

Shot for a superb weekend chaps. It was good to get everyone together especially Muz, Lol and the G-Man.
Soccer balls easily stolen from this area

Summer lovin'

The Pitch - Looks smaller than it really is
