TRIGGER: Surf
Week 2 of our summer vacation…and relaxation is the order of the day….every day!
We all have our own ways of relaxing and our own interpretation of just what relaxation is. I guess I’m one of those people who can’t turn off completely. Never have been been able to just lie on a beach or around the pool and do absolutely nothing. Even if it’s just reading a book, I have to be doing something.
As a family we all have a tremendous love of reading and books so you can guess what we’ve done a lot of this holiday so far.
My true relaxation is painting…and there’s no shortage of subject matter here.
We’ve spent a lot of time at the beach and in the surf. Or rather my Son has spent a lot of time in the surf….so has our dog!!! Cornwall boasts some of the best surfing beaches in the UK and both are in their element here.
So this week’s trigger is….
