Essential Beach Accessory

Smart phones, tablets and Kindles seem to be essential on the beach here.

I prefer a good paperback myself.
I'm reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini (Author of The Kite Runner) It is fascinating. I wish people weren't so chatty, so I could get more reading done!

I had a golf lesson this afternoon. It would seem my swing needs some TLC and practice. It's a long time since I took any proper golf lessons.

These closed parasols remind me of Masai dancers from Kenya in their terracotta coloured blankets.
