We had a wonderful long weekend away- the weather was beautiful for two out of the three days, and even Fridays weather was grey rather than wet.
We walked for miles, along the beaches and the cliff tops....
... enjoyed good food& good wine (Lorna we succumbed to the fish and chips and they were excellent- the chip shop was three doors away from "The Old Forge", so how could we resist!).... read books that we wanted to read.... Tim geek-ed away with setting up the new laptops, whilst I lay about and read more, wrote reams of stuff in my paper journal and generally chilled out....
...more than anything we enjoyed the quiet- no phones ( the children didn't call once) and no loud music ( from same children), and one another's company- really having time for one another was great, lots of talking and lots of healing, and lots of discovering we really are still in love with one another....
On Sunday morning we went to a service at the Parish Church, I enjoyed most of it, the music was good, with a mix of traditional and modern, and there was a genuine feel of life and community about the place, we were invited to stay for coffee afterwards, but even the thought of answering a few questions was too much and feelings of panic returned- so we left, went back to the house for a coffee and lunch then walked the cliffs to Overstrand and back along the beach, where the waves had their usual soothing effect....
..I saw the Dr this morning who has signed me off again, I am currently struggling with feelings of guilt, and thoughts of not coping, he feels I am putting too much pressure on myself to get better and has given me 4 weeks saying only to try things as I feel I can and to withdraw when I feel I need to, whilst I can see the sense in that I am loosing confidence in myself .... one step at a time, one day at a time...
The West Window at Cromer Parish Church shows the Ascension, I found it quite inspiring.
More photos here.
...and for those of you who love the sea as much as I do....either watch ( the clip is not too bad) or close your eyes and listen....
