Deserted Beach: An English Autumn

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~ Rabindranath Tagore

A stroll along the edge of the English Channel
I, with a hole in my shoe
bundled up against the brisk autumn wind
Dixie chasing her ball with a perpetual smile
Gary patiently following her
While I stopped to soak in the atmosphere
of a deserted beach on an autumnal English afternoon

Later we drove to Baird's Farm Shop for cornish pasties.

And even later we toasted another year with English Sparkling Chardonnay

This is how we celebrated Gary's birthday...

Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again. ~Menachem Mendel Schneerson
