Blow away the cobwebs

Sorry I've been AWOL for a while; I've been spending some time with an unwelcome visitor and these friends for company.

I think I'm on the mend now!

Yesterday I took a trip down the coast to Irvine, to get some sea air and walk on the beach. 

 

After a week of coughing and sneezing, I needed to get out and blow away those cobwebs. It was a lovely day for a walk, a bit windy but lovely and sunny. The beach was quiet too, with only a few dog walkers and in the distance I could see 2 horse riders trotting along. 

 

I felt so much better for being in the sun and fresh air. There's nothing like being by the sea on a beach, I find it so calming and soothing in the summer when the sun shines, and love it when it's stormy and blustery in the winter, very bracing and invigorating. I would love to live by the sea, that's a dream that I hope to realise one day! 

 

When I was going back to the car, I saw a little girl laughing at her dad who had, for reasons best known to  himself, waded into this harbour up to his bum whilst fully clothed and was walking along with soaking wet jeans! Funny! I tried not to laugh, well, until I'd walked past, then I had a good giggle too.

 

Amazing how an hour by the sea can have such restorative powers!

Sorry you've not been so well, hope you are now feeling ready to face the week. You were so right to go to the sea, nothing like a walk on the beach to clear your head but I'm glad you didn't venture into that chilly water. Lovely pictures.
