Often it is the simple things in life that deliver the greatest pleasure.

Spending time with someone you actually like without having to fret about uncomfortable silences is compelling.

I find nesting at the beach, with the sound of the ocean creating an enticing soundtrack enthralling.

All I need is a good book, a comfortable beach chair and an umbrella.

No reason to look elsewhere when I have these elements.

Over the long weekend we added some fabulous beach walks into the mix as well as some fantastic new dining experiences.

Hope your end of summer holiday weekend filled you with happiness.
