We finally got our acts together and sorted out going to the seaside for my birthday and New Year. *does happy dance*
DH and I have a different view of the seaside. As a child his family holidays were to Norfolk, so to him 'seaside' means shingle, wide flat sandy beaches, and big skies over the North Sea. I'm a West Country girl, with a history of family holidays to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (the latter will forever hold a piece of my heart), so to me 'seaside' is rocky cliffs, little secret bays, and the long fetch of the Atlantic swell driving huge breakers to crash against the rocks.
We went to choose a holiday cottage. His criteria: under 500 pounds for the week. My criteria: very simple - the Atlantic ocean.
So we're off to Cornwall, near to Tintagel on the Atlantic coast. So I'll get to spend my birthday by the ocean. Yay!
