first paddle

of the season !

We walked the length of Long Strand with the boy, playing hide-and-seek in the dunes all the way, or at least when he wasn't practising his parkour, or lying in wait to jump out on me.
Then we walked back along the seashore, trousers rolled up to the knee but, in my case, wet to mid-thigh. It was cold but not too cold, and wonderfully fresh and energising.

Looking forward to the blipmeet tomorrow.
