Lazy Saturday

Ok, so there are a million things to do.

But who wants to think about all that when its so glorious and warm outside?

No way!

The only thing to do today was to get outside and lap up the rays, starting with a very yummy (and very large) full english at the BlueBird Cafe in Ferring........a definite thumbs up from me - delish food and right on the beach.

Then a gentle stroll along side the river and down to the beach, taking in the stunningly beautiful houses (and walking off 'a little' of that giant brekkie).

Finishing up with a lazy snooze on the beach - perfectly peaceful with only the sound of the waves lapping on the shore.

Work tomorrow maybe?

Erm....not if the suns shining.......

Sunny daffs.....

.....on a sunny day.

A perfect taste of spring.
