Mother's group got together and suggested a beach picnic. I thought 'what are we going to do there?' but bit my tongue. Thankfully, as it was lovely - a few kids were determined to swim, and everyone had fun playing on the sand and rocks. With no crowds, supervision was easy and parking a dream.
For a few idle hours we were all loving life.
Do you get pushed out of your habits for the better? Are you a regular to the beach in winter?
Have you had fun these winter holidays?
Probably not back fully until next week. Remember the Japanese proverb 'One kind word can warm three winter months.' Spread some warmth this week!

The beach is wonderful year round
ReplyDeleteThe beach in winter is such a special place. A kind of bare, stripped back kind of beauty.

I live at the beach but don't wander the shores as much as I should. I'm telling myself I'll do it more though as I went for a walk last weekend and it was lovely!
ReplyDeleteHere in Qld a lot of people are still finding they can swim in summer. It was 25C yesterday! #teamlovinlife
I live near the beach and absolutely love getting there each day. We've had such summery weather for winter here on the Gold Coast that everyone was out enjoying the beach during the school holidays. Where is this beach that you have photographed? #TeamLovinLife

DeleteI love the beach - wish I lived near one! I live near water though which is lovely. No winter holiday for me yet but I have a few nights booked up at the Bunya Mountains next month that I'm very much looking forward to! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteReally looks like a peaceful day to reflect.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #globalblogging
We had 7 winter beach picnics last week. Although it was winter in Noosa which probably doesn't count because it felt like summer to us! #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to nip to the beach and have a beach picnic with my Mum friends. It looks like you had a brilliant time, the pictures are lovely too. Thanks for linking up at #fortheloveofBLOG. Claire x
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous pictures! That beach looks amazing. It has been so long since I have put my feet on beach sand. I miss it terribly! #globalblogging
ReplyDeleteIt's good to step out of your comfort zone occasionally! You had great scenery to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteDelightful photos, Lydia. I love the beach in Winter, as it is (usually) deserted and I feel as though I am all alone in the world...
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the "My Sunday Best" meme, hope to see another entry of yours in this week's meme.
I love beaches anytime of year. Lovely images - thanks for taking us with you.
ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I went on a beach picnic. Maybe it's time.
