Friends and Nature restore like little else, my country break, Day 1.

I have just returned from a fabulous 4 day break in the country, by the sea with some of my fabulous friends.

We did everything we could fit in. Walked up rivers, along beaches, mooched around the beautiful town, saw a fab castle, a pretty church, climbed hills, swung over rivers, went on tiny railroads and even did a bit of wild swimming.

Well not me exactly, as the half Italian in me does not permit me to be able to swim anywhere chilly. Lol. I am without a doubt a fair weather creature that thrives in a hot place and by the sea best.

I realised that I physically NEED s time with elements, as It genuinely seems to feeds my soul. Nothing quite restores like nature does.

Apart from nature with gorgeous friends, kids and dogs that is.

I am a Part Rock chic, yes absolutely. I love people and cities. Capitals especially because I love the diversity, the buzz and the cosmopolitanism. That feeds me too, but I am also the kind of tree hugger and lover that is happy to wander through the woods just listening birdsong, the wind in the leaves or any and all water and get lost for hours.

Maybe because I am half extrovert and half introvert perhaps I feel like I need both. But I am guessing we may all need this balance of life and peace, people and trees. Community and communing with nature and the earth. Grounding ownself. This seems like equilibrium to me.

Spending this time amongst the green trees, blue skies, seas and rivers makes me feel alive, healthy and happy and revitalised.

This photo above was the view Just coming out of the local pub at 10.30 at night. After trying the rather strong local scrumpy cider, which is very alcoholic apple juice basically. A speciality in Somerset after all, so it had to be done.

We had a delicious meal and then came out to this stunning view at 10.30 at night. So understandably I am feeling super grateful and restored.

Followed by Flopping down with full bellies to lay out with cushions and covers to look at the glorious star lit sky all together. What more could I want.

I realised this post was turning into an epic, and there are so many photos to show. So now a pair of posts perhaps, for a little alliteration or even a trilogy even if needs be, starting with this day one.

I Love my friends, I love this planet, being with my son and thier amazing bouncing nee flying dog !

More on that tomorrow with photos to prove it.

Love to all of you Big hearts. X

Amazing how many diverse parts of the same sky. This one looks so soft and fluffy you can almost feel the texture.

It ebbed and flowed as we watched.
