I could post you a hundred pictures of this beach but I still don't think I could convey to you without my words what it means to me. To us I should really say - my husband's family holidayed here. A much regretted sale of a house decades ago never forgotten. That familiar feeling, a slight rush of happiness when you set a foot in sand, when you remember times past and look forward to future family times; a special place.
I am not sure much can compare to bringing your coffee cup out of the house to the beach, sat on your deck chair watching the kids build sandcastles for hours and hours. Fishing in rock pools, swimming in shallow waters with pockets of warmth, moving back to the sea wall as the tide returns in.
It always returns in.
I know exactly what you mean. I've never felt so blissfully happy as when I've sat watching my son paddling and rock pooling. Were you in Dumfries and Galloway? I love that area of Scotland, one of my favourite places. I used to holiday there as a child often, and it's somewhere we must go back to. x
ReplyDeleteHi Jen, this beach is in Lower Largo, Fife. We were in Galloway too. Where did you go on holiday? Thanks for commenting, Jo xx
DeleteBeaches are big at this time of year. I don't know what I'd feel if I lived in the middle of the country and couldn't just go whenever I wanted to.
ReplyDeleteYes it's good to get paddling! Thanks for commenting! Jo x
DeleteI have the very same feeling avvout a particular loch beach in Ayrshire. It is so familiar. Memories and nostalgia. Home.
ReplyDeleteAwww thank you lovely, I like those feelings, the best kind of nostalgia! Jxx
