The Beach!

One of the wonderful things we've discovered from living somewhere new is how we adapt, individually and collectively. Our housing situation shifted from mostly one floor living in an open concept house (LOUD!) in the countryside (200 meters to skating on the canal) to a three story townhouse sharing a wall with dear friends (WHERE ARE THE KIDS AGAIN?) in a charming cul-de-sac (200 meters from the pub). Among the many pleasures of this challenge (and really it is not), is the finding of how wonderfully refreshing it can be to waste enjoy time relaxing on a beach. Now, we are not sit-in-hot-weather-to-get-tan on a beach folks, so we are well suited to what the beach outside of "The Saltings" (the townhouse complex) offers us: adventure, discovery, room to run (and run and run), privacy, and the impressive and intellectually stimulating tide (2.5 miles out by mid-afternoon before it roars back in.
