Lovely image Ann, there is no better place to be and it is so theraputic listening to the sound of the water. Good luck. Tom.

Hi Elizabeth, yes my soul suffers if I'm away from the sea for too long. The feeling I get when I walk by the sea is quite spiritual and lifts me if I feel down. I could never live anywhere else now. Hope your day was good. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thank you so much Heidi I always appreciate your comments. I am drawn to the sea and when I go inland I feel like a fish out of water- I am a Piscean so that explains a lot, haha. However, I am lucky to live next to the sea so I am able to enjoy it each day and I never tire of its ever changing beauty. Kindest thoughts Ann xx
