After a somewhat restless night with the dogs barking and refusing to settle, it is nice to have a moment of peace.
Nothing to accompany my thoughts except the faint snoring of a dog and the sound of seagulls flying overhead. It amuses me how that sound used to annoy me so much when I lived here, yet now I like it as it reminds me of the sea. Another thing I disliked as a child but love as an adult.
Sometimes I am really compelled to visit the seaside, not for Fish and Chips or an Ice Cream but to walk along the coastline or sit and let my thoughts roll in and out with the tide. There is something so soothing about the motion, which is odd because I am so afraid of the water.
I'm feeling quite homesick now. It is strange being back here and I miss my home and Mr L. In some ways hardly anything has changed since I left here 10 years ago and in other ways things are so different. There is a "greyness" about it all now, bleak is the word I am looking for I think. I had a happy childhood in this part of the world and yet I am so grateful I managed to "get out".
Off to do some work whilst things are peaceful and dogs are sleeping!
