We spent some time away down at Middleton over the Christmas period. It was everything we needed and more.
Away... that word brings me comfort in a very airy and light way. Away from the hustle and bustle, away from stress, away from the "norm"- just away. Things slowed right down the second that we arrived and it stayed like that for the duration of our stay.
My summer self was happy and I was happy to find her at the beach. I decided right there and then that I would bring some of that beach life home with me. That flexible, relaxed, ready to play, ready for adventure kind of life. The sandy and messy and slightly irresponsible kind of life. So far, so good. I've brought that beach life home.
My husband is just as committed to keeping that kind of mindset with us throughout the year as well. We spent new years day sitting down and figuring out what we wanted our 2017 to look like and we both agreed, we wanted it to be more like "that". We want this year to be a mindful one, a year that we handle stress differently, a year in which we take a mindful moment before we dive right in and say "yes". A year of a little more "beach life" at home.
I'm grateful for our little getaway and the happy perspective it gifted me personally. I feel like 2017 is going to be a good one.
Here are some pictures from our little holiday.
I've had a few questions about where we stay down at Middleton, so I thought I would leave that information here:
Beach Huts Middleton
We usually stay in the "Sorrento" because it has two bedrooms. We love the clean, fresh and modern vibe these huts have. There is access to washing machines on site, a few of the huts actually come with a washing machine too. We can't recommend this place enough and get down here at least twice a year. Check them out.
