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!

I'd rather give it a go than never know...!

You know that advert... the one where they sit in the car looking out at the wild and windy seashore before ripping off their clothes and running free as a bird through the sand dunes... and then run straight into the freezing cold water laughing and screaming...

Wouldn't it be great? Really? I mean yes it would be freezing but as long as you had a good supply of dry towels and plenty of warm clothes to put on after ... then why not?

You would need a deserted (or at least sparsely populated!) beach though!

Anyone fancy it?
