Corner View : By the Sea



Oh, I love this topic! 
As a child I lived in a Cornish fishing village and spent many hours of my childhood years walking along the coast; I had an affinity with the angry waves. But when the sea was calm and the sun was shining, I loved the coconut smell of goarse and I'd swim in the cold Altantic, not really noticing how cold the water was.
I don't live by the sea at the moment and I miss it.

    We holidayed in Cornwall last summer. Loved it. Apart from the oh so cold sea!!! Those pebbles are a nice little collection with all their holes.

    I believe that there can't be a better place for a child to grow up than by the sea. We also find some of those pebbles with holes on our beaches, I wonder what the story is.

    One of my favorite activities to do is hunt for weathered rocks by the seaside. :)

    I love stones with hole. We tell them "Hühnergötter" - "chicken gods". :o)
