Don't leave it so long...

Wow! We just got back from a short break in the sun with friends - our first sunshine holiday since 1987! Why on earth did we leave it so long?

We went to Magalluf to celebrate Claire's 40th - its a place that she and Steve know well and the invitation to join them was very welcome. A sunshine holiday - I could barely contain my excitement!

I love flying and the flight over went very well but the part I was waiting for was to walk out of the airport and feel warm sunshine on my skin... it was bliss!

The feeling of waking up each day and knowing that the sky would be blue, the sun would be out and that we could wear what we wanted and not be cold... it was just the best feeling...

With bare arms and bare legs we went exploring, it was fabulous! Sunshine, real sunshine! Warm and calming and relaxing... It was just gorgeous! The sand was white, the ocean was the clearest, deepest blue and the sky was absolutely cloudless...

Needless to say we lost our inhibitions and gave ourselves over to the sun...

Five days was not enough and I would go back in a hearbeat!
