You kind of know that it exists some where in the world, but hopes are dashed when you look through the window only to find it's raining again, blowing a gale and not a lot in the bank.
Sometimes in life though there are such occasions, (they may be few in number) we are allowed such a luxury. And so it was to be this year! A trip to Sardinia for 10 days, with husband, son, daughter in law, daughter and one of my grandaughters in tow. It almost didn't seem real even as we got on board Easy Jet. But on landing and exiting the airport, there was that warm breeze, the hope of more to come and even a sky that was a beautifully blue.
I've already written about our holiday home and it's wonderful location, but there glistening in the distance was that amazing turquoise sea, wow!
The very afternoon we arrived, I got what I had wanted for for so long.
Colour is something that I so enjoy looking at, no matter what it is, colour is so beautiful. The sea is also something that I love to be near and I'm thankful that we live very near it. But here the colours were mesmerising. I just couldn't get over the colour of the sea, which seemed to change depending on where you were and what time of day it was. From turquoise in the shallows to a beautiful dark blue further out. You could actually see the bottom too.
My husband, daughter and I did manage to go on a boat trip around the islands for a day. Despite sharing the experience with 2 french couples who never stopped talking the whole day, we enjoyed it. I was so pleased for my husband to once again have the sailing experience, he used to go sailing, but is now unable to do so.
It was a lovely holiday, and one I shall always remember. Many a day we sat on the beach enjoying time with one another and looking out into the horizon, not daring to think that it would end later in the week.
Now as I look back, I am so thankful that I have the photos to remind me of our time here.
Precious memories with my grandaughter too.
