My favourite place in this world has to be the Promenade in Portobello. From when we first moved here and I spent many an hour walking the entire length of the Prom - at 8 months pregnant - to try and encourage labour on. To rainy, windy days spent pacing up & down with a buggy trying to settle an over tried newborn. I've many memories of this beautiful walkway.
And we continue to make memories. Saturdays are spent hand-in-hand walking along the Prom with John, eating ice cream (read: John stealing the entire flake & refusing to share!) and collecting shells from the beach. Unfortunately my pelvis doesn't allow me to easily walk the full length of the Prom right now, but as long as we make it to the park & back, John is happy enough.
My memories of the prom at Portobello have rather less to do with shells and more to do with a certain marathon - but I won't hold it against it, it's a beautiful part of the world, how lovely to have it as part of your ordinary everyday,
ReplyDeleteAh I would love to live near to the sea. I think the nice thing about it is that it's still beautiful no matter what time of year x
ReplyDeleteWe do love living by the seaside. I grew up just down the coast from where we are now. I don't think I could settle somewhere that didn't have the sea within walking distance!
DeleteIt sounds lovely, I would love to live by the sea. And I like theres a trusty diet coke in your photo, I am an addict. ;) x
ReplyDeleteI'm a complete Diet Coke addict too! In fact, I rarely drink anything else. My poor insides must hate me for it!
DeleteI love living near the sea - walks along the prom with kids are great. And ice creams at the beach are even better! x
