Sunshine & Surf - Summer arrives again!

At last! After an unseasonably damp and windy start to September, today we woke to the refreshing sight ofblues skies and sunshine! The Cottage garden was returned to it's suntrap status and by mid-morning we'd had a text from a friend telling us that there was still plenty of good surf at the beach. Once Clare was back from running a workshop and I'd finished what I was working on, it was late afternoon and wonderfully warm. We went directly to the beach and were delighted to find more glassy waves rolling in.

I had some really long, slow rides that were very enjoyable indeed. There were a few other surfers in the water and most of them we knew. In fact, we all ended up going for ice creams afterwards to keep the summer feeling alive! It felt like a real tonic, having the warmth of the sunshine on our skin as we sat on a wall eating our ice creams, chatting and just looking out to sea.

When it's good around here, it's really good! Even stopped off for a cuppa with friends on the way home, before getting back for a late dinner. Body feels tired but happy....
