The turquoise sea at Mattiscombe Sands, Devon

2 July 2018

Oh how I want to be..

Temperatures are set to reach 32ºC in Bristol today, so I’m dreaming of the beach trip I took with the one who loves me most, just a week ago.

I feel so lucky that I can spend days like these with my mum. They are the best.

And don’t you just love beachy hair and a damp bikini on the ride home, after the obligatory ice cream?
