Let's have a bit of Beach

It seems ages since we've been to the beach and, even though these pics look cold enough to make you keep your coat on, they also remind us of summery times and time spent more slowly.

They are a bit deserted because they were taken in December.

It's not our habit to go to the beach in December (although I'm beginning to think it SHOULD be... create good memories more often... potential new year's resolution in the making!)...

But it was a significant birthday in the family and the first time away for a weekend minus offspring (Paris being the second and with a few years in between the two events).
