I can't begin to explain how welcome this sight was to me this weekend.
I've never been Devon's biggest advocate - but when the sun comes out to play, I'm drawn to the seaside immediately and it's then that I start to truly appreciate where we live.
I love the sea.
Something about it makes me feel peaceful.
I'm not sure why....I'm not a good swimmer, and deep open water scares me....but standing at the seaside (or on a massive luxurious cruise ship, naturally!) soothes me.
Something about seeing how far out it goes makes me think of how much is out there - so much possibility, and so much wonder in the world. It makes my little problems seem insignificant, and sometimes that's a welcome feeling.
This weekend, the sun has decided to greet us at last and we had one of the warmest days I can remember having in a long time.
So we headed to one of our many nearby beaches at Teignmouth.
I'm bored of Torquay now - we've been there too often. We're saving all the seaside fun that Exmouth has to offer for when Summer properly kicks in.
So Teignmouth seemed like a good place to go.
We went for a walk along the sea front, and stood for a while just admiring the view.
Tyne seems to love the water too - I'm pleased about that.
Tyne of course was in his trike - he much prefers it to his buggy these days, where has my baby gone?!
After our walk we stopped at a seaside cafe for some chips, followed by some ice cream for Tyne - what's a trip to the seaside without ice cream?!
And then we spent some time just sitting in some pretty gardens, relaxing in the sunshine....
I love these days....I'm so looking forward to visits to other seaside towns nearby....Dawlish, Lyme Regis, Starcross and all the rest....Roll on summer!!!
We tried to get a nice summery family photo while we were out...quite difficult with no fourth person to take the shot! Hence a lot of out takes....
But eventually we managed to get one where all 3 of us were looking at the camera together...
Not the best photo ever, but it'll do for now!
I hope you've all been enjoying better weather where you are lately too.

ReplyDeleteTheres nothing as good as walking along the beach and having a treat of ice cream (or fish and chips if its night time). We live about 30 mins away from the beach but still like to make time to go there as i think it takes away all your worries and makes you realise just how big the world is!!
