It has been a strange month with some fantastic high points intertwined with a bit of hardship and an unexpected turn of events.
As April falls into May I feel as if life is about to turn a corner and a new chapter is about to begin.
I took this photo in one of my favourite spots in Brighton at the beginning of the month, staring out onto a soothing, sedate sea ignoring the madness and mayham behind me.
At times this month I have longed to be on a boat far away in the distance away from the noise and disruption of real life; but the reality is I need to turn around from the serenity in front of me and face the reality of life behind me and enforce my own sense of peace.
This is my entry for Tara’s Gallery this week, pop over to her blog and check out the others.
Philosophical. I know the feeling. Right now I’d like to row off into that sea and not come back. As I haven’t the shoulders for rowing I’d probably barely get off the beach. Another plan foiled. Oh lets just got to Brighton and get hammered.
Oh can we? please – tomorrow? I needs it lady
Ohhhh, Brighton – I have fond memories of drunken days in my teens down there
I have tons of drunken brighton memories! Want to come join gemma and I on our day trip???
great picture, I know the feeling you mean, just taking off and never coming back!
Some days it would be nice, no responsibility or anything!
Brighton. The scene of many a drunken evening, including my first proper night out clubbing at the tender age of 15. How I love that place…
I spent six years there through uni, so many drunken nights, must blog about it one day…..
Lovely photo, and I too know how you feel. Hard to find a sense of peace with 3 children though! Perhaps we need some ear plugs??
Or a holiday without them?
Oh its making me want to go to the seaside…like….NOW!
Great pic x
Sorry!
Great photo – do believe I’ve stood at that spot a time or two myself
Thanks, I love that spot x
Beautiful words and serene photo…
Thanks x
Here’s wishing your new chapter is full of the promise you are seeking. Heavily loaded post that, I can feel the unsaid strongly. Big hugs and if you’re in need of female bodies for your Brighton pub crawl – call me! I can’t remember last time I was out on the razzle
Whoop Mari is in for the Brighton crawl!!!

Beautiful picture.
Why thank you very much
Special words with a lovely image and makes me want to know more.

Lovely picture. I do miss living near the seaside and should take the kids to Brighton one day, but I’m not sure I can face the memories that might come flooding back.
Last time I was there I was oh so young and single and The Walkabout featured heavily in my activities *blush*
lol! king street?
i was a zap girl myself…..
Ohh how I love the sea. Good for you Jane, taking life by the balls and facing it full on!
Good luck on your journey to face the mayhem.

Oh, such a lovely shot
Thanks mrs
Brilliant picture. I really like that reflection from the water.
Sheer fluke as much as I love taking pictures I tens to be poor at it
Your post made me realise how much I missed the sea. I grew up on a coastal town so went to a walk at the beach to keep calm or collect myself or whatever
Beautiful picture.
Thanks,
I used to live by the sea so also miss it greatly
Lovely words for a majestic image!
I don’t have any pub crawl stories in Brighton, but I did get an epic sunglass tan last there year

Lol. You can join our crawl.
Beautiful photo, can feel myself calming down just looking at it
Thanks
