the call of the sea 01:36:17 on Sunday, February 28 2010Well it's been a while, but on saturday afternoon we got there. A beautiful bleak walk by the sea. As usual, I was glad that the weather forecast was wrong. There was no rain. There were no dark skies. I woke up to clear skies and pockets of sunshine. After a late start to the day I hot footed it to the supermarket, zoomed back here and then the good times began. Along with a friend for me of the two-footed variety, and a four-footed buddy for Billy we headed down to Camber Sands and climbed across the sand dunes and over to the beach. It was indeed bleak. It was indeed beautiful. We walked and talked and the dogs ran marathons. There were a few other people about - dog walkers, couples, kite-surfers... It was wet, it was cold and fresh, and slightly overcast. It was bliss. Every cell of my body appreciated the time, the space, the air and the freedom. Billy and Stripe charged hither and thither, chasing after sticks and stones. Billy perfected his "bedraggled" look, and tried his best to outrun Stripe. Weeny Stripe was not to be beaten by Bill though, which is saying something, as my boy is a speedy one. Most of friday was spent in the car. Next week is going to be quite intense, infact most of March is going to be much the same. But to take an hour or two out, as and when, despite the work that is stacking up and the emails that are owed, stops me creaking and aching and groaning and yawning.... The sea is healing, and for me, it's very special Al Commentssarayoga - 05/03/2010 10:34:26 Just the best, A, to hear of your walk with Billy and friends
