Our mornings have been startlingly cold this week.
Ice-cream headache kind of cold (as soon as you inhale).
Still can't fell your toes at 10am (after the school run and a quick coffee) kind of cold.
Needing a sign to put on the children who refuse to put on anything other
than a t-shirt saying "I did offer them a jacket, I am not a negligent
parent" kind of cold.
Today I felt brave.
I wrapped up well and headed to the beach.
The breeze was cruel.
The sun shone but there was precious little warmth in it.
Slowly, but surely, the magical effects of being near the sea were with me.
My legs were tingling (and loving the chance to stretch and move)
My brain unravelled, untangled, unwound and my thoughts slowed.
I felt my shoulders ease down from beside my ears ... back to where they belong
The sea rippled and sparkled.
Garlands of blossom were slung across the sky..
The brilliant blues of sky and sea washed over and through me.
I felt nothing but grateful.
