Beach Days at Last

I continue to be convinced that I live in the most beautiful place on earth.

Especially when the sun shines, as it has been doing now for three whole days!! In fact, it has gone from unseasonably grey and cold (about 60 degrees only on Wednesday or Thursday) to a sudden brilliant summer. It's hot enough that it's uncomfortable to sit for long with a laptop on your lap.

Robinson and I went to the beach this morning, as you can see, and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We stopped on the way home to buy local strawberries. What could be nicer?

Having uploaded my pictures to Flickr and eaten my lunch, I'm now going to go and loll about in my garden in the shade (no octopodes there, though).
