Summer Storms

We woke this morning to wind and rain - a summer storm.

Can't wait to get down to the beach and see what kind of treasures have been washed up.

Enjoy your Wednesday.

Saturday morning sights...

Mornings like this are a real treat...

...pastries and a walk on the beach.

I hope your Saturday started with a treat.

A little lighthouse keeping

I have an unexplained attachment to lighthouses. I'm sure the realities of lighthouse living are far from my romantic notion of blustery days eating fish sandwiches (which I'm sure are not anywhere near as tasty as Enid Blyton made us believe). These pictures make it look oh-so-inviting. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a lighthouse?

Beach Walking

I love the way coastal living makes you so very aware of the rhythms of nature. At the moment our beach is just recovering from the brutalities of winter - the hard knocks of storms and abrasive winds. The seaweed still hides the odd treasure, but mostly the beach is looking like, it too, is waiting for the new Summer sun to bring back its former glory. Still, it doesn't stop us from walking, ever hopeful, and inevitably ending up in the sea.
