Autumn Days by the Sea

I love this time of year, especially when we have days like today. The sky was so blue that the sea looked positively tropical and the air was really cold and crisp. It's the kind of weather that is so right for a good long walk up the beach to our favourite bar and restaurant for a long lunch and good old natter over a few beers. I was feeling slightly envious though, when Mikes big steaming bowl of mussels appeared as they smelt divine. Still will have to wait until the baby is born to refresh my palate of my favourite shellfish.

Stomachs full we took a walk home through town and Mike splashed out on some new clothes and I bought a half a pound of milk bottles from the old fashioned sweet shop we have here in Whitstable. Cheeks glowing we got home, lit a roaring fire, I read the papers and Mike dosed on the sofa. We finished our wonderful weekend off with a bowl of homemade butternut squash soup and sat engrossed in the 2nd part of Lord of Rings......bliss
