Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 178: A spontaneous trip to the beach



We had a sudden and rather overwhelming heatwave today and my lovely sister-in-law suggested that we take the train out to Walton-on-the-Naze where it was forecast to be cooler. Sure enough we had a perfect day at the seaside. The kids spent a lot of time in the water, which was just the right temperature for swimming. I realized that I last visited Walton more than twenty years ago with my greatly missed godmother. The pier, on the right of the picture, looks exactly the same as it did then.

    How wonderful! A perfect place to spend a hot day - and the train is a great way to get there!
