That’s exactly what most of these are. There are islands not far off the shoreline that are connected by these sand bars. Some of the sandbars are solo though. Lol! It’s FUN stuff either way and I just learned a new word today so thanks.I'm cheating in using the term tombolo, as a true tombolo is a bar of sand or shingle joining an island to the mainland, but it's just so reminiscent of a tombolo that's what I went with.

I knowwwww and I love skating. Plus it will look beautiful. There’s a perfect place directly in front of us. It looks like I’m getting a new fishing rod. It’s not my favourite sport. My husband still has to hook the worms on for me.
He'd be hooking the worms on for me, too! LOL!I knowwwww and I love skating. Plus it will look beautiful. There’s a perfect place directly in front of us. It looks like I’m getting a new fishing rod. It’s not my favourite sport. My husband still has to hook the worms on for me.
I'm starting to think you couldn't have found a more ideal location to call home. You get to enjoy the best of all worlds!
Hahaha.
Couldn’t have found a more perfect place for our family. Everyday I’m pinching myself.
Pure joy. It doesn’t get any better. I’m beyond grateful.
Thank you.
Yes you can swim there , NOT me tho I can’t swim …it’s a bay so the waters are much calmer than the open seas ( normally ) however we do get a wild wind storm or two a year . Where we live is a peninsular it’s shaped like a boot
I’ll post
photos latter of one such storm

Such beautiful photos. The eagle is fantastic. What a wing span.
You don’t swim either. Neither does my man.
Like yourself, we live near a bay of sea water so the wind and waves aren’t too bad however we live on a hill so it’s a bit more windy than on flat ground.
Where you live looks a bit like Italy; boot shaped.
That’s quite a drive to the city you have. Our closest town is about 17 minutes away and our closest city is about 40 minutes away. Things aren’t nearly as convenient but that’s part of appeal. I wouldn’t change it for anything.
How often do you travel to the city?
How long do you have the cast on for?
Thank you Ruth. A few times this beauty few right above my head but I was fishing at the time. The wing span is incredible. The feet are what I’m most in awe of. There claws are huge.
I had a fibreglass cast for 2 weeks , then the moon boot for 23 hours a day for 4 weeks
was able to wean myself off the boot and the crutches / knee scooter about 11 days ago .
@Keesha if I don’t use the elastic tube bandage my lower leg /ankle and the top of my foot swells , I went to pick up a pair of soft boots I ordered on click and collect
at a huge shopping centre ( I phoned to find out which entrance was the closest )
My foot was pretty swollen after about a 400 mtr walk to shop and back Hubby came with me but I wanted to try the boot on good foot to make sure it fitted ,so had no choice but to go into shop .
We don’t travel to Adelaide all that often and even less since COVID struck .
Prior to COVID
We’d come down weekly or fortnightly for dancing but it will be a while before we dance again I don’t wasn’t to push it I’d rather take a bit longer and be sure the bone has mended I’d hate to suffer that pain again .
My physio is extremely pleased with my progress by following his advice and doing the stretching of both my foot muscles and leg as well , cause my hip and knee suffered a bit from swinging the darn 1.5 kg moon boot
Oh yes I remember you mentioning the knee scooter. You’re halfway there. A fibreglass cast for 2 weeks isn’t too bad. Fibreglass. That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of a moonboot. A 400 metre walk is quite a distance for an injured leg.
You were very smart to follow doctors orders with the physiotherapy. I had a rotator cuff injury last October and was told to go to physiotherapy and I didn’t. My injury would have healed much better if I had.
I really hope you can get back to dancing again. I wish everyone could get back to doing things they enjoy with different people.
People need people. The world needs to smile again.
Here @Keesha they were taken in family room
Im only 5ft 1 tall hubbies 6ft 2 so the moon boot was just under my knee which was not that comfortable to kneel on the scooter ,but it was manageable and took the pressure off my injury
I like a giggle if we stuff up while dancing we just laugh it off , we are only social dances so I can’t brag
The dancing we do is called New Vogue and old time waltzes each dance has a set of steps
and are we going to be in big trouble when we eventually get back to dancing cause we have prob forgotten by now how half of them start … and that’s the thing if you know how they start your OK ..We know about 140 different dances so it can be a brain strain remembering

Well look at that. That’s fibreglass huh? It looks different than the stuff from way back when. Pretty cool boot. Only stating in a technical sense. At one time you’d have to wear a cast for something like 6 to 8 weeks so while the boot isn’t comfortable, I bet it’s more comfortable than wearing a full cast for that long. At least you can scratch an inch in the moot boot. 
I bet you can’t wait to get that thing off for good. It’s probably best that it is winter where you are. Imagine doing this in the summertime? Then again, doing this at any time kind of sucks.

Well I didn’t see all that you had written.
Theres quite a height difference. That’s nice for dancing isn’t it? My husband is the exact height that I am. We don’t dance but he did tell me that if i ever wanted to take dance classes, that he’d be ok with that which really surprised me.
You know 140 different dances. The only vogue I know is from Madonna.
In fact, I watched her vogue concert at the CNE. It was very entertaining. The dancing was incredible and she actually sings really well while dancing which isn’t easy.
Waltzes are so romantic looking. So classy & elegant looking.

It’s off now! Im a bit slow.
That’s awesome. You must be thrilled to get that off.
It’s not surprising your skin was really dry. The boot prevents air flow. That would drive me nuts. Im glad you are on the mend.
I better get to sleep.
Ok! Here is where you mentioned the wedge tail eagle. I missed this part. Then you added the picture afterwards. That’s why I haven’t ever seen one. Your Aust was short for Australia. Ahhh. Check. I’m sometimes a bit slow so have to reread to get it. LolWhat is the dog telling you @Keesha HURRY UP I’m waiting
Keep the photos coming
Love the soaring eagle , we have a very large eagle calked the wedge tail eagle in Aust
Lol….. yes I know that now. I was talking to milkyB.
No! He just never learned how to swim. He can swim a bit cause I taught him but he just never goes into the water if it’s too deep unless it’s in a boat.

I never had the opportunity to learn to swim , the town where I grew up had one baths
(swimming pool ) the school didn’t have excursions / sports events like my kids / grandkids had
The closest other town with a pool was 300 km away .
I make people laugh if they ask if I go swimming down the beach here , I say no OMG I get a bit nervous if the bath water is above my ankles ( on the rare occasions I have a bath )
I’m surprised he never learned to swim especially considering he was born on Canada’s biggest island. He had water all around him. Then again, many people who are born and raised on islands never learned to swim. Possibly due to dangerous sea creatures like sharks, sting rays , jelly fish etc.I never had the opportunity to learn to swim , the town where I grew up had one baths

None of the schools I went to had pools but there were public pools to swim at close by. Most of my swimming was outdoor swimming in lakes, ponds and rivers. I did a lot of long distance swimming.
My man gets anxious once the water gets up to his chest. When we kayaking I make sure he’s wearing a safety vest.
My comments to millyB were because I missed her telling me about the eagles in Australia so when she added the picture I didn’t recognize the bird. Now I know why.

I will try to post a few pictures some time, I’m on my way out the door heading for “ the big smoke “ today to visit / assist my much older sister and only close family member in the city of Melbourne . ( 7 hour drive )
She’s got to the stage where she needs to consider aged care accommodation

River Murray / house boats that are well over 100 years old ( Mildura ) I live walking distance from this beautiful spot
