I've always been a lover of the little things in life.  Flowers in a vase on my coffee table, a well made coffee, a hug from one of my many nieces, and the feeling of sand in my toes when I take a walk along the beach in Winter.  I love rugging up against the cold wind and smelling the salty sea water all day on my clothes.

This recent trip to the beach was a little more special as I was with my mum.  She's been in and out of hospital for the past couple of weeks (hopefully out for good now!), so it was utter bliss spending the day with her, watching the world go past.

We popped into Sand Bar for a bit of lunch - great views, lovely service and delicious calamari......

..... followed by a leisurely walk along the pier......

I went to bed with a big smile on my face that night. x
