Have got back from our week's holiday, and I have to say, it was fan-bloody-tastic!I know it's lovely where I live and don't get me wrong, I really do feel incredibly lucky to have landed here in such a place but you really can't beat getting away from it all, having a complete change, a chance to recharge the old batteries and spend time horsing around.
Apart from family and friends, about the only thing I miss about the UK is living by the ocean in Norfolk. I loved to walk the dogs on the beach early morning, to lie in bed in winter hearing it roar and smash into the cliffs... but I digress. Well it was just so great to smell the salty air again and although we are pretty close to the Med, the Atlantic wins hands down for sheer beauty and power. And we had the added bonus of camping in the middle of the pine forests, beautiful.
So we spent the week pretty much in the sea the whole time as body-boarding is just about the best fun possible. I tried so hard not to let out loud wooting noises everytime I caught a wave, but sorry to say, I could not contain myself!
