Having moved from winter / spring to autumn / winter in the past few months, totally missing a summer, the recent days of warmth and perfect sunshine have been a joy.

Temperatures were twelve degrees above average for springtime, in the mid twenties.

Socks and boots, socks and trainers, were put aside for a bare foot walk along the beach. Hard wet sand, soft sinking sand, all provided a natural pedicure. Sand between the toes and sand squeaking beneath each footstep.

Roll on summer.
