Tom Cunningham January 28, 2019 at 12:46 AM 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. Ann Gilmour January 28, 2019 at 1:50 AM Many thanks for your lovely comment Tom, yes I walk along the prom every day if I can and feel so much better for it. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Elizabeth Kinch January 27, 2019 at 11:43 AM Love this haiku Ann. Watching the waves really does empower the mind and soul. Ann Gilmour January 27, 2019 at 2:32 PM 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

Heidi Sands January 27, 2019 at 5:35 AM This is so nice and inspiring! Thanks for sharing :) Ann Gilmour January 27, 2019 at 5:57 AM 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
