As a 1960s girl holidays were entirely focused on lying prone to get The Tan, coated in Ambre Solaire. Now as a senior my whole life is a holiday but at a leisurely, sensual pace. Ten minutes from my house I've the sea with the smells of seaweed and the crashing sounds of the waves on wild days. I turn around and I've the lush foliage and colours of the South Downs a step away, heather and bracken scented and just now blackberries and elderberries to forage.
Happy Bank Holiday, i hope we all manage to store some late August memories to carry us through.
