Sea Salt Smell Taste

It's been a little and some more Since i seen the sea As the tide was out upon my previous visitation So i left without the smell of salty air stimulating my sensibilities Until i had to convince myself i was actually there in the first place So stupid me i filled a glass with half water then half salt beside my bedroom table And smeared my face with coconut butter sun cream In the hope i would remember what the sea looked and smelt like To tide myself over till the next time Blackpool isn't clouded over by the north western light's of Southport And i can remember what life actually feels and tastes like Before the ghosting mist and fog obscured the view Oh windmill stationary blowing forlorn out to Irish sea Shipping Forecasts 3 Legs of Man I wonder if Jan is looking back in nostalgic contemplation as am i

I Christopher, the sea is my favorite holiday, followed by the Kruger National Park followed by the Wine lands around Cape Town, not all in one year of course, but each year we choose somewhere different to go. The smell of the sea, is what makes the holiday and the crash of the wild African sea, no timid waves in this part of the world. A very nostalgic, sentimental write my friend, I enjoy your honest yet talented writes. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Likewise Jen As soon as you go through Pinetown on the way to Durbs the smell hits you. Hard to argue with your holiday favorites same as mine Hugs and blessings

aww this is such a touching piece Christopher I can imagine people who are desperately missing the sea and trying to re create the salt water and the smell of sun tan lotion, got to say how lucky we are, surrounded by the ocean and its keeping us apart from the virus which is all good, adding this to my faves:-) hugs jan xx
