goodmorning dear bloggy friends...
we've had a busy, emotional couple of weeks as you know...
so this weekend it was all about *nothing*...
doing nothing...
thinking nothing...
just *being* together...
&
where better to do this than by the seaside...
it still makes us smile...that after three years in england we can stumble upon *a moment* we've not yet had...
we're a beach reared family...
sandy, salty hair & beach towels thrown over the line...
it's what we know...
sydney beaches...sandy feet...freckled noses...
sunscreen & lipgloss in my bag...
so, on this lovely weekend of doing *nothing*, we went to *find* an english day by the seaside...
we found ourselves a movie moment...
a moment of history...
another perfect storybook moment...
doing nothing but photographing vintage deck chairs by the seaside & watching our surf reared kiddos *paddle*...perfectly english!
these deck chairs...
total love...
i'm madly plotting how to get these into my people mover on our next visit...
{all my english friends should just ignore my next thoughts- unless you've already done this- & then any tips are sooo welcome....!!}
the way it works is, one pays £2.50 for the day for a vintage deck chair...& an additional 50p which is refunded when it's returned...
correct me if i'm wrong...but throwing this *piece of heaven* into a moving car full of aussie kids would cost me just £3.00 in total...
hmmmm....should i have a moral issue kicking in here??
look at all that paddling people...
this is a beach of paddlers...
no surf...but life savers...
no lounging on towels...but vintage deck chairs...
no hats...except on the aussies!
totally the kind of day we needed...
& did i mention the fun pier...
we seem to lack these on the aussie beaches i know...
the kids didn't even register it was there...
&
it makes for divine photos...
look at that wharf...
&
the beautiful light...
the colours of an english summer...
we're off to gozo- malta at then end of the summer...
& trying to fit in a french visit in august...
so for the moment...vintage deckchairs & paddling is the go...
&
in the essence of doing *nothing*
this makes me very happy
