Photo Friday: Happiness Is…

When I received the photo friday ‘happiness is…’ email this morning, immediately I thought of my niece eating the fondant out of her Cadbury’s Creme Egg yesterday. It made her happy, and it made me grin like a complete prat (I do that a lot ’round my niece). Anyway, as her parents don’t agree with having her pictures on the ‘net (something I generally agree with) I went with:

sandcastle

..instead. Happiness is… going on holiday with the man you love and building your first ever sandcastle (I don’t remember doing any as a kid, anyway).

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    Cool picture! Sand castles are fun, I used to enter this weekly ‘competition’ it a campsite we were staying at for 6 weeks every year building sandcastles. I got the same email and I’m looking through my photos deciding which one to pick. It’s hard as most things on there make me happy.

    Ahh, I love the ocean. You did a great job on that sand castle. I haven’t built one of those since I was a kid.

    That is a great looking sandcastle, does not look like it will survive those waves approaching it!

    That’s a lovely photo – beautifully composed with the castle, the water and the fence. It looks like a nice place.

    Wow, that’s a pretty sophisticated sandcastle. Now that I think about it, I don’t think *I’ve* ever made one before…
