blue sky and sandy toes

I've said it before,

but I just love the seaside.

My husband and I met and fell in love at the seaside,

and something about being near the sea just feels so right somehow.

So a sunny day

and our first quiet weekend in a month,

and the coast was calling us,

with it's promise of feeling warm sand between our toes,

getting to paddle in the sea,

and maybe a sneaky ice cream too.

We had a lovely time,

it was just beautiful.

The beautiful boy told us repeatedly that he had had a lovely time,

and asked at bedtime if he could go again tomorrow.

And the hubby and I spent the drive home 

talking and dreaming about a home looking out at the sea.

The beautiful girl isn't keen on paddling in the sea as it turns out,

so we've found a water that this water baby isn't a fan of.

She loved playing in the sand,

although not quite as much as she loved the ice creams.

But her brother more than made up for her water hesitance,

by diving head first, fully clothed into a wave.

(And at a moment when Mummy didn't have the camera rolling

which we think was rather inconsiderate of him!)

Who needs fancy foreign holidays,

when you have these beautiful spots in your very own county?

We've got a list of lovely summer days out the list of our arms

and we're starting early with ticking them off.

But after such a beautiful blue sky beachy day,

I think we'll be adding a few more seaside trips to that list.

…Well we need to convince this little girly of ours that the sea is fun!
