We have had a lot of rain here on the Somerset coast, but have been so fortunate compared to what other people have endured. Even so, walking down on the beach we were surprised to see standing water on the sand… usually it drains away within minutes when the tide is out, as it was today.
There is nothing nicer on a walk that be accompanied by friends; we strolled along and sometimes I was beside the two girls and we chatted girl stuff, sometimes I walked with Celia and we chatted grown-up mum stuff, and sometimes I was beside Nick and we chatted about family stuff from our childhood… and sometimes, I was walking with my beloved and we chatted about home stuff. It was not too cold, and after the hurricane winds this morning and the sheeting rain it was pleasant to wander along.
