Silver linings




This year, the boys' school holidays have been markedly different from other years....with the introduction of Chester our beagle puppy to our home, we have got out of the house everyday for a good walk, come rain or shine.


This particular day was one which was drab and rainy and didn't seem to hold much promise of a nice walk.

We jumped in the car, suited and booted and headed to a beach about ten minutes away.

We were to discover untrodden sand, crashing waves and space to run.















There were definitely silver linings in those clouds!

  3. What wonderful pictures and in my opinion thats the best kind of day to visit the beach, one where its abandoned and has big crashing waves. Glad you all had a day out and that the weather hasn't stopped you much.

  4. I love the beach in all weather ... maybe even more when it's windswept, cool, and blusterly like the photos you showed here. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous place with us.

  11. Sometimes I think that is the best time to be on the beach - when no one else is there and the wind is blowing and the waves beating the shore. I love your photos - really evocative!

  12. I lovetha wild open space Faith and the rain is sometimes comforting I find, as long as its only drizzle!! Wonderful that you can see the positive in your days finding that silver lining indeed.

I'd love to hear what you think, and I won't be asking you to jump through hoops (or fill in a captcha) to do it.............
