What are we doing on Wednesday?

Since my return to work in January, we've been trying to do 'something' each Wednesday after school . It breaks up the week and gives me something to aim for .... something nice half way through the week, and then there's only two days till the weekend. Over the last three months, I've found the whole process difficult to say the least, and I have lots of ups and downs. It's nothing to do with the job itself, it's just the way I feel about the my work/ life balance.... moan, moan!
Anyway, over the past few weeks we've had fish and chips in Parkgate, huddled in the little cafe out of the storm, we've eaten out in a local hostelry, we've nipped in to the Museum on our way home and looked at the Egyptians and had a coffee. We've parked up in Liverpool One and done a bit of window shopping! Nothing special ... nothing outrageously exciting ... but we have been enjoying a bit of special time together ... it's like a date night!

So now, at the beginning of every week we say "What are we doing on Wednesday?" and we take turns in choosing something to do.

Now the nights stay lighter we can make the most of the evenings and get outdoors.
Tonight we went hunting for a place that I've only seen in photographs, even though it's only ten minutes from home.... Caldy Beach.

We live on the shores of the River Dee where it meets the sea. The faint hills in the distance are in North Wales. At the bottom of our road the river has silted up and there are marshy channels, but further along the coast there is a real beach. We usually walk along the shore at Thurstaston and at West Kirby, but in nearly thirty years we've never been to this bit.

Tonight it was just perfect ...
