Much ado about nothing

When I'm in the thick of it back home, I'll remember and be grateful for days like today.

Found treasure, beached sea monsters, stolen hours at the edge of the Atlantic, cake, shorts 'till sundown, goats, dad sipping ginger ale 'n whiskey, soft gorgeous puppy, Carmen Miranda seaweed, happy sandy dogs, rock pooling kids, wine, uno, scrabble, deer, frogs, sunshine and warmth, locals that remember us and secrets exchanged about local beaches and beach combing, brochs and ancient walls, midden and crofts, and not least the annual trek for THE deli wine.
