Ten for the weekend: the sea edition.

28
I spent the last week visiting James' family in Cornwall.  James' childhood was spent by the sea and the minute we drive past the Welcome to Cornwall sign, the conversation tends not to stray from rock pools, tide times and rip currents.  Once we arrive at his mother's house I barely have time to put the bags in the house before I get chivied back into the car and we are on our way to the coast.  
29 Whilst he spends hours in the water, I get time to potter up and down the beach or explore the headlands, collecting treasures and taking pictures.  If it is raining (this is the UK after all) I tend to try and find shelter in beach caves or (more commonly) small cafes and read my book whilst I wait for him to return.
