Empty



I think it close to miraculous 


that I walked along a beach


as empty as this,


scattered with shells, 


 sculpted by the outflowing tide,


 lit by the daily drama



of a westward slipping sun,

 less than two hours' drive from London.


Empty.

  6. And I just did exactly the same, with the Mr and five whippets, on a totally empty beach in North Wales. We had it entirely to ourselves. Wonderful, wasn't it :D

  8. I'm always surprised how you can still find empty beaches, even in the middle of summer. I love your photographs and words, I could almost smell the sea and sunshine! Jane xx
