Back on track

From time to time life gets a bit hectic, everything comes at you all at once and the clogs start grinding  out of sync. All the balls that you've been juggling start flying in all directions and you don't know which ones to let drop and which to keep in the air. The sensible people amongst us will say 
 " Don't juggle so many balls ! " but then I wouldn't be me and all the things that I am ...... to everyone !!!
 
It's amazing what time in one of your favourite places can do for the creative sole, clearing the mind of clutter and allowing space for creative and clear thought.

Ogmore beach in South Wales provides miles of unoccupied beach , the fast flowing Ogmore river spilling directly into the sea, rocks and rock pools, pebbles and a dramatic coastline...... no shops, clutter, traffic, or excessive noise (except for my children arguing over occupation of their sand holes which, in this area of  comfortable wilderness, is easy to ignore !!
 
 

 
Despite some  heavy rain moments  typical in Wales the sun came out enough for us to get down to the beach a number of times, much to the delight of the little people.




A large number of wet sand pies were made, some big holes were dug, sandcastles were made and destroyed and, in predictable fashion, the little people got very wet in the sea and blue with cold before reaching for the comfort and warmth of the car and the luxuries inside ........ warm, dry clothes !!!!
