3/28 for me today please.
Just back from a very windblown/sandblasting walk on the beach. It's a vast beach, and there were two horses cantering along. We're so blessed to live within a mile of it, and on a clear day can see Blackpool tower (it was too hazy today).What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5 -
