May Eve

Philippa called my bluff and dragged me down the beach tonight, to see if I would dive into the waves or not. (SPOILER ALERT – I didn’t.)
There were lots of people walking dogs, but not much athletic activity going on. I thought we might see runners, surfers and swimmers but it was mostly old couples enjoying a walk, and a few groups of middle-aged women gathering and gossiping in that way that middle-aged women do.

To be fair to myself, and others, today hasn’t exactly been warm and sunny enough to warrant a head-first plunge into the North Sea. Having said that, we had a beautiful sunset as we drove home this evening. It’s been a hard week of work, and it’s been far too cold for the end of April, but I do find myself feeling as if we’re on the cusp of Spring and all things (even virus related) are steadily improving…..
