One February several years ago I was walking along the beach at Royan in the south west of France. The beach is long and wide at that point but there were barely half a dozen people on the beach. It was very cold!
Then I spotted these two old ladies on their beach chairs! Now that’s an impressive piece of planning and preparation!
Who said “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”?
Well I guess these two ladies enjoyed sitting in the sunshine on the beach – while staying cosy – not to bask in the heat, because it wasn’t even warm, nor to get a suntan, except maybe on their faces, nor even to boost their vitamin D levels, because they weren’t exposing their skin.
Nope, they weren’t there for utilitarian reasons. Just because they plainly enjoyed sitting on the beach in the sun.
I was impressed!
