Yes Joan, I'd forgotten about beach walks. These are among my favourites too. Especially when I get to have a dip or a surf too.
Thanks for the commentary on the lonely pine cone too, hope all is well your side and you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Walks along a beach in our winter months nothing to beat this, mountains during shoulder seasons was a must every year never knowing what one could expect.
Have a wonderful Christmas celebrating with family and friends, time to unwind!
