The delighted screams of children filled the air as I lay lazily on my towel, dozing. I was thoroughly enjoying the warmth of the sunshine dancing over my skin.
My eyes popped open, as my husband returned, playfully shaking his water-soaked self next to me – the cool droplets shocking me out of my reverie.
“Idiot,” I said, swiping a handful of sand his way.
We grinned at each other, bolted towards the water and together, plunged ourselves into the blue.
Sighing, I put the photo down and cursed the snow falling outside. It was still another 14 weeks ’til summer would be here again.

No doubt, we do. I have a pen friend in Australia, I hear it’s a beautiful place to live from what I read. Plenty of paradise beaches too.

It is. We are very lucky to have such a beautiful big country! We have some of the best beaches (but I AM also a little biased😀)
