The Beach

Had a surprising burst of energy yesterday afternoon and a desire to go out and do something, the likes of which I haven't seen since before getting pregnant. Felix was napping though so I knew by the time he woke up it would be getting on a bit. Decided we'd take a walk down to the beach, which is about a half an hour walk away. We don't go down there often enough considering we live so close and it's a nice thing to do any day of the year I think. The winter breeze and crisp air as just as enjoyable as a warm summer's day in it's own way.

Felix got very excited when we saw the sea and as soon as he got out of his pushchair went dashing down towards it to try and chase the seagulls. Unfortunately they were further off than they looked and it got pretty wet and gloopy before we got to them. He still enjoyed pointing and imitating them though. We had a nice play and a bit of a sit down while we both gazed out to sea. Felix got his faraway look on a few times but I genuinely think he was enjoying the view, having a think rather than just looking blank. After a while we left the beach and wandered along the seafront a bit more before heading home. I'm really feeling achey from all the walking today but it was well worth it.
