Something in the air causing me to smile!

When I realised we had a 3.5hour journey plenty of chatting time and music listening time with no escape for my CD I smiled. Our busy lives means that quality time comes in many different ways and journeying is one of them.

As we journeyed I saw the trees arching over the road, they looked so enchanted almost magical, I was loving every second of it.

When we finally arrived we set up camp next to my boss' caravan, after setting up we could all sit down together with a glass of wine and have a chatter. It's a bit bizarre meeting up with the boss and his family for a long weekend, gatecrashing his holiday, but they're really lovely people.

The night was clear enough to sit outside watching the stars, with the smell of whiskey surrounding me. CD drinks whiskey but I don't, but the warming musty smells will always remind me of him.

The next day the sun shined for long enough to sit on the beach, go for a short coastal walk, and for me to read a few chapters of my book. Total, utter bliss.

The following day it was time for me to do some body boarding and it was a perfect time for it too because while in the see it chucked it down with rain, what better place to be than in the sea already wet when it was raining, with CD in his figure hugging wetsuit surfing and looking uber cool on the waves.

When I got back to the campsite I went to have a shower and I saw wee go down the drain in the shower, my first though was of disgust, then realised if you can't beat them you should join them.
I did join them in my next shower.

That night we watched the film Marley and me in the boss' caravan with his 2 kids. The film reminded me of my dog that I grew up with it was kind of cute in the most childish of ways.

As I heard the rain pitter pattering on the top of my tent I smiled as I was snuggled up warm next to my CD.

I also smiled when I got to look at CD asleep next to me to find his eyes opening and giving me an acknowledging smile as we led curled up in each other.

I also looked forward to the journey home, leaving the boss and family to enjoy the next few weeks of their holiday and for me to get back and slog away in pie charts and statistics at work. I smiled as CD ordered me an orange squash in the country pub on the way home. Sometimes I just look at him and smile, knowing that he's a pretty darn good catch and somehow I caught him.
