Sometimes You Just Have To See The Sea

in , , ,

Every now and then I get a deep craving to see the sea. It's an inbuilt desire to be at the edge of the land, to watch the tide ebb and flow and to breathe in the salty air. I had been working all morning and decided it was time for a break. I was only going to take an hour or so but suddenly needed to get out of the city. I found myself reasoning that I could work on the train there and back and within thirty minutes I was on my way.

It was rainy, grey and misty but sometimes that's the best time to see the sea. There were hardly any people around and the colour of the sea was absolutely magical. I walked slowly along the pier and breathed in the air, listening to the tide. An hour was all I needed. A little fix. Sometimes you just have to see the sea.

I love noticing tiny details. To me, these little patches of moss on a garden wall look like little worlds. So much prettiness when you stop and see.

This week as I've been on my travels I've found myself drawn to soft shades of green when I'm looking for little bits of pretty. It must be something to do with the approach of winter. Greens are becoming more muted as nature goes into hibernation and something in me is clinging on to those little signs of life.

I met Katie from Oh Squirrel at the Renegade Craft Fair this weekend and bought one of her fabulous glittery prints which you can see below. I love being inspired by individual creatives who have followed their dream and discovered this lovely video on her website. It tells her story and definitely qualifies as a #littlebitofpretty!
