Busy week, from the balmy Pembrokeshire shores to the hustle and bustle of London at half term. Two days at the seaside has reinvigorated me, blown away some rusty cobwebs and warmed up my soul. Standing at the edge of the shore, feeling the wind coming off the sea, waves washing over my wellies, simply blissful. I could stay there for hours, fortunately I haven't as I would have been washed away but I do love it. The emotional balancing that takes place is amazing. I often wonder how much I could manage without, to be able to do that everyday, whether it would be sustainable or whether I need more. Even following it with two days in London hasn't lost it, although having just been for acupuncture, it is possibly difficult to tell. I was blessed with a warm and sunny afternoon so had the roof down on the car, music surrounding me and a fantastic drive so feel very indulged this afternoon. Am trying out a new cafe too sitting at a fantastic table and bench, might have found the perfect writing spot, will need to come and test out the latte another day and see just how good it is.
Watched some great films whilst away, Maleficent and The Help. Both were wonderfully inspiring in very different ways. A fabulous retelling of Snow White from the point of view of the wicked witch, I love seeing the opposite perspective of a story and how it completely challenges your initial understanding, maybe I should write my own reaction to last week's post in a Frankie/Mac style. The Help was just brilliant, great to watch what could be described as a 'chick-flick' with my daughter that wasn't about the girl/boy relationship. I do love a good moral tale, especially with the opportunity for good to triumph over evil. I've always been an advocate of the underdog, especially when I considered myself to be one too.
Yes, there should be an exercise this week and I am supposed to be rewriting a section without any adjectives or adverbs. However, after writing the above a few days ago I am a bit out of kilter so will be leaving it for now or this will never get posted. Whoops.....
