60 minutes' brisk walk
Last night's sleep seemed to have gone in just a few minutes. I woke up feeling as though I had been robbed. It couldn't possibly be the morning already. But knowing that I always feel better for having got up and out, I got up and well...went out.
With the company of my husband, we headed north towards the high street (a rarely used morning route) before turning towards the sea and back home.
It was beautiful out there. 6 deg C with just a 2mph W wind, it made walking even more pleasurable. Daylight could definitely be seen first thing and by the time we returned, it was almost a full daybreak. First light is now at 5.45am. This time of year is my favourite. I am making the most of every single minute. The days are getting longer and I can still convince myself that the coming summer will be long, hot and sunny. Dark and cold nights seem like a million miles away.
Mr Early zipped past on his bike, flashing white and red lights everywhere, bidding us both his usual cheery good morning. And Mr Alsatian was out too. His dog without his lead and barking at us. I still feel a bit wary of him as I passed and was glad I don't carry meat around in my pockets.
Although there was a lack of wind, the waves washing up onto the shore was lovely and loud this morning, perhaps due to wind direction. It's a noise that I never tire of. The beaches and the cliff tops were clear of rubbish, which was amazing, considering the sheer number of people down here this weekend. The roads and car parks had been full throughout and the beaches were packed. It could easily have been August and we kept having to pinch ourselves all weekend that it was still early April.
Back to Monday then. *sigh* I'm definitely writing to the Prime Minister to request an extra day at the weekend. I'm sure he can squeeze it in.
