Whenever I go to the beach I feel relaxed.

I feel as though all my worries are small

and I feel calm.

That’s where we were today.

We walked along the beach.

Some crazy kids went swimming, others explored the caves.

Noah was told not to get wet,

so he went in up to his ankles,

fell over a rock and suddenly found himself saturated up to his armpits.

He said, he didn’t trip,

he said he ‘just wanted to practice his swimming moves’.

Just between you and me, he fell

but we can call it swimming, if it makes him happy.

We all had an ice cream and watched the sun start to set.

Ivy brought me tiny beach flowers to tuck behind my ear and Lily made a hula skirt out of seaweed.

The lighting on the way home was magnificent.

What did you do today?

I hope it was lovely.
