A strange thing happened on Saturday at Corfe Castle. This ancient site became host to the Indian festival of Holi. It was wonderful. Amazing street food of all sorts, music, dancing, laughter, friendship........ and colour, quite literally by the handful.
What better way to celebrate Spring, love and joy?
Today, Sunday, is much more sedate. A slow wake up with endless cups of tea in bed, then off to enjoy the sunshine at Branksome Dean Chine. Another cup of tea brewed in the back of the camper, then we were off.
Lots of shells along this stretch of beach, Always plenty of scallops of different colours.
We have what must amount to tens of thousands of shells that we've accumulated over the years, but apart from making things from some of them, the pleasure is in the collecting.
Long walks, good conversation, sometimes serious, sometimes not, but always necessary. Personal connection with one another always.

We had plans to do some gardening in our own garden on our return, but all the sunshine, cold air and exercise saw us briefly napping on the sofa instead. Then it was Amanda starting another jigsaw, and me installing a new toilet and fridge in the camper ready for next weekend.
A roast chicken dinner shortly!

You had a very good weekend! Cups of tea in bed sound like a recipe for lots of getting out of bed to pee :)
ReplyDeleteI have collected shells in the past but then feel slightly bad for removing them from the ecosystem so if I could walk on the sand, which I can't, I wouldn't do it now
We are ten minutes away from your stretch of beach, Gary. Do pop in and say hello sometime! therosemarymurphy@gmail.com
