There is something so restorative about the sea. Standing on the shore with the sand between my toes, the roar of the waves in my ears and the salty spray on my face, there's nothing like it. For me, this is the best part of the holiday. Just being on the beach. It's good for my soul.
The water temperature is 25 degrees, so warm. Diving under the waves and coming up through ozone-y foam washes away all the stress and tiredness of the past few months.
The kids are so happy at the beach. They laugh and run and skuttle over the sand. Splash at the waves as they rush in. Squeal as they paddle on the surf.
This is where I feel my best. This is where I feel most at home. This is where I feel alive.

Oh I get this... so wholeheartedly Corinne. It is where I feel my best also. In fact, I drove down to the seaside today, just to see the ocean, feel the fresh salty air and watch the wild weather change shape before my eyes. With the boys in the back of the car and the sea in front of us, nothing could have felt better.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're having a lovely break and the water temperature sounds fantastic! xo
ditto! True paradise... xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I know what you mean. Sounds like you need a sea change - I know a nice spot just north of where you live...xx
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree.
ReplyDeleteThere's something so soothing about the ocean.
I think I'd struggle to live too far from the coast.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
