OUR WORLD - Oh to go to the sea

Last August, with my health rapidly breaking down,  I bit the 

bullet and after a number of years of looking after my husband

of 54 years standing, had to put him into a nursing home.

Now, I visit when I can but it is a 150 km round trip and the 

drive does exhaust me.

A dear friend flew down from Queensland to see him. 

Luckily he was still recognised.

In the afternoon I took our friend to the airport and since it is 

not far from the sea, I finally got to smell the fresh sea air that I

had missed for a whole year.

Just the colour was enough to lift my spirits.

Even though a service vehicle had driven up and down a few 

times, my little dog and I enjoyed the walk.

Hardly a sole on the beach apart from us.

The view from West Beach down the coast 

towards Glenelg and Brighton.

Enjoy your world while you still have a place in it or recognise that you have one.

Have just returned from another couple of days away. Since my

significant other has been locked in a wrestling match with 

Mr.Alzheimer for the better part of 10 years, I have been forced 

into letting his driver's licence lapse, so now I take him on little 

trips of a few hundred miles or so, just for a change of scene.

This was one of those.

Here now, harkening back to our big trip to Wirreapla, way up 

north, is one of our magical sunsets. 

Just two shots but, enough is as good as a feast . . . enjoy!

Thank you all so much for your kind comments which are more 

appreciated than you can possibly envisage. Caring for someone with 

this condition is wearing emotionally as well as physically.

I do try my hardest to visit you all as much as I can contrive but at 

times I am so weary that my brain refuses to come along and I end
up just enjoying your wonderful posts that make me feel that I
am still part of humanity.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for the lifeline you
throw me through your most kind comments . . .
((Hugs)) to you all . . . Arija
