    I love the sea ..... my grandad was a fisherman so I was brought up around boats :).

    I guess, like all of nature, it's the wildness of it and that you can't control it .... one minute it's as gentle as a newborn pup and the next it's the raging mother as you've got too close to her baby!

    It seemed a bit apt as I've previously been drowning in debt and it could easily be compared to clawing my way to the surface of the ocean..... now I just need a life-belt to keep me up there as things are tight!:)

    Reminds me of the Florence and the machine song Never let me go :-)

    And yes, a cuppa would be lovely :)

    And I thought I was the only one that done the 'first page then last page' reading :rotfl:
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    I love the sea too. I feel a huge infinity to it for some reason. However, I like it's darker side, I'm not a fan of the touristy side of the coast, I love it when it's dark, windy, rugged and raining

    I also feel a bit 'lost' or an on looker when diaries are more established, so am really glad to be here from the begining of this one, woo hoo!
