Looking back at magical moments of 2013

I am ending the year with a look back at the magical moments of 2013 that I have shared with you ...



 The sound and sight of the sea gulls following the trawler into Brixham harbour.


  Helping to feed the swans and admiring the cygnets at the swannery at Abbotsbury.


Admiring the view along the Dorset coast.


Spending a week in an amazing converted railway carriage right on the beach .


Walking llamas in Devon and enjoying being close to the sea and sharing it with you all.


I started blogging on 21st December 2011 and it has been great fun. Thank you for friendship, interest, support and inspiration. It is wonderful to have met and become friends with many from other parts of the UK and all around the world. Thank you for sharing these special moments with me and continuing to click to join me by the sea!



As the sun goes down on the last day of the year I wish you and your family much health and happiness in 2014.  Happy New Year!

  45. Dear Sarah! HELLO! Happy New Year! I am so happy to have started blogging six years ago, and I as I go back to look at older posts, I not only see dear friends who are still with me, who are no longer blogging, and some posts that make me CRINGE and others that hold promise as seeds for real poetry one day. But you are correct; in those moments of self-doubt, all we have to do is think of the people who have made every step of the trajectory worthwhile.

    Here is to your blogging future and that it may continue to thrive! Give that Daisy a hug, will ya? Anita
