Late Weekend Break

Today is Tom's 19th birthday, 19 on the 19th, that doesn't happen very often. I think I'd left home and was working in London by the time I was 19, it was sooo long ago!

Anyway to celebrate we left Tom at home and Ann and I headed off to our chalet in South Devon, sans dog. No really, we did ask him if he wanted to come (Tom that is, not the dog) but he preferred to stay with his mates; we're going out as a family on Wednesday evening.

Its a wonderful sunny evening here in Shaldon, with rolling cloud along the bay past Exmouth stretching to Portland Bill looking like a vast waterfall cascading into the sea.

It is very peaceful to sit here looking out over the endless sea, the sun glinting off a tanker moored out in the bay, the small boats here for the regatta clustered in and around the estuary. Bliss :-)
