Walkies on the Beach

Yesterday (Sunday) was a very fine day in terms of the weather, bright, sunny and warm. After lunch we decided to go for a walk on the beach at Old Hunstanton, Tallulah's first trip to meet the Sea, apart from when she visited a few times in my tummy! I love going to the seaside, and walking along the beach and paying homage to the sea, it makes me feel complete and whole.

I had the wrong footwear on as I had expected the sand to be quite firm that day for some odd reason, but it wasn't, so it concluded in soggy swimmy sea water sock feet which was okay as i sort of got used to it after a bit! Tallulah was very alert and intrigued by all the sights and sounds, she was looking around and taking it all in, I think the salty wind made her eyes water a bit, which she didn't seem to like much!

The sea was absolutely stunning that day, calm and shimmery. We all felt like we were in a movie or something. Max and I both agreed we could of sat on a chair on the shore all day just staring at the sea. Our soggy feet had other ideas though so we walked a bit more and headed back to the sand dunes where we had a sit down, it didn't last too long as Tallulah was trying to eat fistfuls of sand.

On the way home I felt like we all had some really good quality time. This baby malarky is totally awesome, but it has been hard at times adjusting to not always being able to be together when we want,like we used to, now for example, one of us is usually holding/playing with Tallulah or she is asleep in the middle of the bed or something. Tallulah is the most incredible gift into our lives that we could of ever asked for, but one day becoming 3 can be quite a shock to the system, no matter how prepared you think you are!

Anyway, back to quality time. Yes, we had such a laugh all day, and the journey in the car was good fun. I think we talked about the New Moon film and the actors for a bit, as we like to anaylze things, which is not a good thing because most often than not, as soon as we leave from visiting a friend/family's house we go "was I okay? did I do anything to offend anyone?" and go through our behaviour to make sure we did alright.

When we got back, we got chips from the chip shop, fried up some eggs from Max's Mum's chickens, warmed up some baked beans, and ate some nice dinner! Then we pulled out the sofa bed, got the quilt, glass of red wine, New Moon DVD, warmed up a treacle tart and double cream and the three of us got cosy.
