A winter's Beach Stroll

We live in a beautiful place, sure, it has its faults but there is nowhere else I want to bring up my babies.  We have a lovely house with just about enough space for us all, and neighbours all around that we stop and chat to.  We have family and friends all around us. We have a park at the end of the road where the boys can run around, climb and kick a ball.  We have the promenade just round the corner, where they can ride their bikes, spot boats in the sea and watch the world go by.  We have a beach within walking distance that we don't take advantage of nearly enough.

I have seen lots of photos on instagram recently of people enjoying the sea, even as the temerature drops and it inspired us to do the same.  We often go for lunch down on the seafront, but we went for a wander afterwards at the weekend, to skim stones in the sea, chase the waves and build sandcastles (without a bucket).  The boys loved it (until Dylan got caught out and drenched to his knees) and the sun shone for us.  I had my camera on me, so took a few snaps, although with the sun so bright, it was hard to avoid the shadows. (Sorry about the photo spam)

  1. It's clearly a good day for posting beach photographs.... I've done the same this morning. As you know, I love the beach, whatever the weather. It's just feels good for the soul somehow (which I know makes me sound like a proper hippy!!!) Lovely photos Bex, just gorgeous. x

    1. I know exactly how you feel, the beach has always been my thinking place, and I used to have a little rock on the chalk cliff where I went to write when I was growing up. x

    1. You do indeed need to come and visit, and bring your camera too as I am sure your photos would be better than mine
