Great Place for a Holiday

Tweet

Once a holiday meant lots of action for me, going places and doing things. Now, my ideal holiday is far less ambitious. We both prefer a quieter time, somewhere to totally relax. Last year the little house beside the ocean we went to gave us exactly that opportunity. The highlights of that trip were siting on the deck in the morning, drinking coffee, gazing out on the Pacific Ocean in an isolated place with few people about. We knew it was the kind of holiday we wanted to repeat. It was a long way from home though, about a seven hour drive. There are plenty of places closer to home. Yesterday we went exploring over on the east coast, less than two hours away and we think we've found the perfect spot for our week's holiday in May. It's autumn here then, but the weather is still pleasant enough for beach walks and being outside. Yesterday we sat on the beach pictured here and ate fish and chips for lunch, something we rarely eat at that time of day. But who can resist fresh locally caught fish! On our return home I went online and found a lovely beach house, just across the road from here, where we can enjoy the ocean, no matter what the weather is. I think we've found the perfect place for our next beach holiday.
