from welly boots to beach combing

I've just moved back to California after four years in London, and I'm adjusting to the change in time zones, attitudes and lifestyle. I loved living in England; bundling up in woolly sweaters and wellies to go out walking, before taking shelter in a pub for the obligatory pint of cider in front of a warm fire. But there's nothing like being home. And the past few weeks have felt like one long exhale of breath. Every time I look at the ocean, I am reassured by its presence and my connection to it. I'm excited to rediscover some of the things I haven't seen or done in a while. I'm excited to be here again.
