sand

I'm not a sun, sea and sand kind of person but it was the holiday my kids wanted and their happiness is pretty much the most important thing to me. So yesterday saw me sat at the base of a large dune, enjoying the warmth of the sand through my dress. My girly wanted me to join in the barefoot dune running but I explained not everyone likes the feel of sand between their toes. She was especially pleased therefore to notice later that I was boldly paddling barefoot in the sea, warmer than I had expected. The dog had lost his ball in the water so I was trying to locate it. Had he not lost it, we may not have stayed through the drizzle and so have perhaps missed the most vivid rainbow I've ever seen.  Not too tired to get that metaphor!
