We decided to take a little trip to our local beach here in Bournemouth after Christmas, it was a lovely day the sun was shining and the air was mild. What a beautiful day it turned out to be. My husband Ray has a poetry site on the internet http://www.thegypsypoet.co.uk and he was looking for some inspiration.

When you see the pictures the far back of our personal photos are what they call the Purbeck Hills a beautiful part of the country side where sail boats can been seen sailing in and around Bournemouth Beach and around the Brown Sea Island.

We walked a distance on the beach where other sun seekers were holding hands and walking their dogs. The air was crisp but not too cold. The water was pristine and glowed with life it washed the pepples up on the beach as we walked along slowly looking for bits of shell.

Days like this are preserved in our picture albums and minds. What an inspiration we found!
