became naked swimming session in the rock pool (us mamas stayed clothed and dry). sunny and bright i chased my giggling toddler around and around as he threw pebbles into the sea. a fast and swirling in-coming tide made for the best kind of puddles. i mastered the art of putting up the beach umbrella. and i realised that when you take a child to the beach the mama always looks like she's leaving home for a week. a morning spent with mumas and their children, in bright winter sunshine, near the water's edge is good. and makes me feel happy. inside and out. while he slept oh so well this afternoon...i cooked pumpkin soup and knitted a few more rows. and talked to my mum who is knitting with bamboo - the sweetest little vest for the little boy who makes us all smile a little bigger. i love days like today. i hope you get one soon.
be well.
oh your beach posts are a little hard for me. We moved from seaside Fremantle to Adelaide Hills - equally glorious but in such different ways. I do miss the beach and small ones make it so deeply enjoyed so easily. Ah well - I do love the mist luckily!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos, love the concentration on Che's face. He is divine divine. I agree, mornings at the beach are the best!
ReplyDeleteSunny days at home. I am loving the sunny days of Brisvegas? Everyone is shuddering at the cold and I'm in a Tee and wishing I'd brought shorts and by Birkenstocks. Sigh. Warming my bones.
ReplyDeleteI would love the recipe for the pumpkin soup.
ReplyDeleteLove that look of concentration on his little face in mid-sand construction, serious business
ReplyDeleteDays like this are bliss. I love the beach in winter as much as summer.
ReplyDeleteMany happy more days to you like this one. Take care.x
