The Seas Of Newquay.

The sea, the sea: calling out to you and me
Waves rush in to caress the sand
Only to roll out again

The sea, the sea: calmness in its water
But in one fowl swoop
The calm has turned sour

The sea, the sea: breezes clear as day
Salty air meets our lips
Longer, will we stay?

The sea, the sea: soft sand beneath our feet
Breeze cooling our hot hands
One look at your eyes and I Know

The sea, the sea: our ally and friend
The seascape drawing us in
In triumph, two sweethearts together
Creating beauty in the sand. 

THE SEA, BY LILLIAN B.ROSE

I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD OPEN UP THIS BLOG POST WITH A POEM ABOUT THE SEA, BECAUSE IT'S SO MAGICAL THAT I FIGURED THERE MUST BE MANY, MANY POEMS WRITTEN ABOUT IT, AND THIS ONE REALLY DESCRIBED MY WEEKEND IN NEWQUAY :)

JUST SPENDING A FEW DAYS BY THE SEA SEEMS TO JUST COMPLETELY GROUND AND CALM YOU, THE VIEWS THAT I WAS ABLE TO SEE WERE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, A TRUE GIFT. AND IT'S AWESOME JUST DRIVING ROUND, TURNING AND CORNER AND THERE'S THE SEA! 

IT WAS SUCH A CHILLED WEEKEND, ME AND TONI STAYED AT B&B NEAR THE BEACH, WHICH MATT'S FAMILY OWNS, SO THAT WAS A TRUE BLESSING THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY! ON SATURDAY, ALL GEARED UP IN OUR WET SUITS, WE WENT DOWN TO THE BEACH AND SWAM IN THE SEA, WHICH WAS SO FUN, I WISH THAT THERE WAS A BEACH IN BATH, I LOVE THE SEAAAA :) EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT I GULPED DOWN A LOT OF SALTY WATER WHILST TALKING WHEN A WAVE CRASHED INTO ME, NOT ADVISED. AND WHEN SWIMMING BACK TO SHORE, ME AND TONI GOT GULPED UP IN A WAVE, ALWAYS A PANIC WHEN YOU DON'T COME UP TO THE SURFACE WHEN EXPECTING TO! BUT STILL, THE WET SUIT KEPT ME NICE AND SNUG AND I COULD HAVE SWAM IN THERE ALL DAY. 

AFTER OUR MORNING SWIM, WE DROVE TO A LITTLE CAFÉ ON A BEACH AND SAT OUTSIDE DRINKING EXTREME HOT CHOCOLATE AND STARING OUT TO SEA, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MORNING, AND THE SUN EVEN CAME OUT :) 

 LATER THAT DAY WE TOOK A WALK ALONG THE COASTLINE NEAR MATTS HOUSE AND SAT ON AROCK THAT MATT SOMETIMES GOES TO. THE VIEW, AGAIN, WAS INCREDIBLE. SO DESCRIBABLE, YET ACTUALLY UN-DESCRIBABLE, NO WORDS CAN REALLY RELATE TO WHAT I SAW, IT WAS JUST AMAZING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN PEAKED THROUGH AND LIGHT REFLECTED OFF THE OCEAN, CREATING A POOL OF LIGHT THAT WAS SO ATTRACTIVE TO SWIM INTO, CREATING A  PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE. YET BELOW US, WE COULD SEE THE WILD WAVES CRASHING AND BREAKING AGAINST THE ROCKS, A FURIOUS DISPLAY. I LOVE HOW THE SEA CAN BE BOTH CALM AND WILD!

SUNDAY WE WERE ABLE TO GO AND VISIT MATT'S CHURCH. MATT WAS ON WORSHIP THAT MORNING SO THAT WAS COLL TO SEE AND IT WAS A WICKED SERVICE, GREAT CHURCH AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT. THE PEOPLE THERE ARE SO FRIENDLY AND RELAXED, AS WELL! THAT'S WHAT LIVING BY THE SEA DOES TO YOU :) 
AFTER CHURCH WE WENT BACK TO MATT'S, PACKED UP AND ON THE ROAD WE WENT AGAIN, SO SAD TO LEAVE NEWQUAY, THOROUGHLY ENJOYED SPENDING TIME CHILLING WITH FRIENDS AND BEING BY THE SEA. A GREAT WAY TO OFFICIALLY END MY SUMMER! 


HERE ARE SOME PICTURES TAKEN OF THE WEEKEND, UNFORTUNATELY MY CAMERA DIED WHILST SAT ON THE ROCK, BUT I STILL MANGED TO GET SO LUSH PICTURES SO S'ALL GOOD :)
