hello autumn

hello
hello autumn

i love your trees, shedding their finery, baring their skeletons to the biting winds.

i love your blue sky days and cool nights that call for blankets, mittens and scarves.

i love the feeling of holding a mug of hot soup or tea in my fingers, sitting beside a warm fire.

i love your colour pallette of reds, oranges, browns, yellows.

i love your sunrises, dancing mist off quiet lakes & ocean shores.

hello autumn, i love you.

postcards from a sunday adventure

with 4 comments

dear friends,

the weather here has been beautiful recently and we thought we’d make the most of it on sunday with a day trip out of london…

we caught the train to brighton, picked up a streetcar, then collected our friend debz.

nic has been wanting to see the long man of wilmington for years, ever since seeing arthur c. clarke’s mysterious world. it’s only about 30 minutes by car from brighton so we headed there first…

before hopping back in the car & driving to the lovely camber sands beach. we had a picnic, then went for a walk along the beach. the water was surprisingly warm, so debz went for a swim while i lamented leaving my bathers in the car – i ended up soaked anyway, despite not technically going for a swim!

nic was fascinated by all the kite surfers, out taking advantage of the 25-30 knot winds…

we even had time on the way back to brighton to stop at birling gap for a quick pint and a glorious view of the seven sisters.

being near the sea is a way for me to re-charge my batteries. simply digging my toes in the sand, or standing letting the waves wash around me makes me feel grounded, calm, happy.

my american sentence to describe the day
salty legs, damp clothes, sandy hair, twelve polaroids – smile wide as the sun.

with love,
leonie
