You all know by now how much I love the beach, right? I just wish I lived in a hot climate where the beach was an exotic paradise everyday of the year, but alas! I live in England, and we all know just how exotic England is...
As a somebody who was bedbound for years, I always appreciate every single day I am able to leave my bed, let alone my house! You always do appreciate things more once you've seen what it is like to go without. This day was one that was even more appreciated because it was a perfect afternoon with perfect company and perfect surroundings, and it was 100% worth the pain and severe sickness that followed. Jake and Charlie, thank you for looking after me and giving me such a special day <3
The beach we were on is actually a nudist beach. Luckily for you no naked people got in the background of any photos, but we just like going there because it's so quiet and we can do whatever we want there - like get naked! Not that we did, just in case you were wondering - you bunch of pervs ;)
It's actually the beach we shot M.E: The Visual Campaign at back in April, but it didn't rain on us this time, thank goodness! It's quite funny actually because Jake and Charlie were my dream team behind the visual campaign, so it must be our lucky beach!
Where do you and your friends like to hangout on a sunny day?
Beautiful pictures Hayley :) so glad you made it to the beach!! Xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophia! Me too! I loveeeeeeee the beach! I find it relaxing and refreshing :)
DeleteOmg how amazing do you look!!? :D so happy you were able to get out the house. Totally know what you mean about always being SO grateful for it :) xxx
ReplyDeleteAww thank you Chloe! I'm so grateful even if it's just a small drive or going from the car to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription! We have to appreciate the small things in our position xx
DeleteThis looks like such a brilliant day! You and your friends are so cool! You look fab in the first pic :)
ReplyDeleteIt such a lovely day :) Haha thanks, Jake and Charlie are, I'm not so sure about me though!
DeleteGorgeous photos. I'm so glad you could go and enjoy some time with friends. Post external malaise is an awful thing but I hope it was worth it
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, it was 100% worth it!
DeleteDoes the sun help your pain at all? It does for me. It looks like a great day, love the starfish!
ReplyDeletexoxo Claire xoxo
It does, I always feel much better in the summer than in the winter. Aww the starfish was washed up, poor little thing, still pretty though :)
DeleteI want to go to the beach with you, looks so nice. "You bunch of pervs" made me laugh xx
ReplyDeleteYes come! We can be mermaids and sea princesses together!
DeleteI would love to, maybe have a trip down sometime :)
DeleteLooks like a brilliant day. You look fab
ReplyDeleteIt was! Thank you Mel <3
DeleteYou look amazing, glad you got the chance to go out and enjoy the sun! x

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!
DeleteYou showed us a wonderful time with your photos. I love it when you can get up and out and to the beach in particular. It's so sad that you have to pay a price each time.
ReplyDeleteThank you Inger - so nice of you to stop by! I'd rather have a lovely time and pay the price than not have a lovely time at all though. I'm so glad you liked this post xx
DeleteWhat wonderful artistic photos H-E!! The one of sky/ocean/land is great!! I like compositions with '3' visuals in them.
ReplyDeleteLucky you are to have friends that allow you to be you.....and that they look after you too! Looks like a good time was had. I used to love going to a nude beach when I was much much younger.....so much freedom and very 'healthy' respectful feeling and appreciation for ones body.
You are an 'old soul' H-E.......and I say that in a most respectful way. I think we could be 'kindred spirits' quite easily. Happy you enjoyed David Bowie this morning on my post.
have a good week and thanks for sharing this day at the beach.....looked like fun and very relaxing.
Thank you Jim! I like that one too! I take being called an old soul as a compliment!
DeleteWow these are such lovely photos :) I love your dress! Looks like a really fun day! :)

Thanks Lydia, it really was and it was so sunny too - the best sort of day to go to the beach!
DeleteYou look lovely and summery! So glad you were able to spend a great day at the beach with friends. It's always a great achievement to be able to go out and do what normal people do! xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Lennae! It is an achievement you are absoloutley right!
DeleteIt looks like so much fun! Me and my friends like hanging out in the City or going to our local big park and hanging out there (park like massive field not park for kids haha)
ReplyDeleteWe used to hang out in the City too, but now we prefer the beach :)
DeleteYou've got such a lovely figure! Curves in all the right places! This post made me happy, I'm so pleased for you and it's great to see you making progress, take care hun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's such a nice compliment, I love being curvy ;) I'm so glad you liked it, thanks for your lovely comment

Thank you Emma! HAHA if I'd have known you were that much of a perv I wouldn't zoomed in on some of them!
DeleteAww what a lovely post, you look really great!
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived near the beach, just seeing these photos makes me feel calm and brings a smile to my face.
I'm glad you had a nice day :D x
Thank you Katie :) I'm so lucky I do because it's my favourite place in the world. It's so relaxing!
DeleteLovely post, I love the beach too! Never been to a nudist beach before though lol
ReplyDeleteIt's right near a caravan site, those poor families that think 'let's go and take a walk along the beach' and turn up on the nudist beach!
DeleteNothing really is better than appreciating a sunny day on the beach. Great post. :)

There definitely isn't! Thank you :)

DeleteLove your blog! Will follow you now once I found it❤️ I live by the sea at the west coast of Sweden, and since I've been more ill (severe ME since -12, but been moderatly sick for 40 yrs, diagnosed to late, one yr ago) I've managed to snorkel and freedive dispite being bedbound through the winters. It's such a freedom to be in the salty water and be able to move. When I'm under water my ME is much better due to the divine reflex, it's like having vacation from the illness. But back on land I'm stuck to my wheelchair. I have some photos on my blog from our favourite diving place on an island outside the city ❤️
ReplyDeleteI mean the dive reflex of course!😄 But it feels divine!

DeleteI really wanna go to the beach and chill with my friends too! Time to relax! x
ReplyDeleteIt's the most relaxing place to go in my opinion!
DeleteLove this post, looks like you had a lovely time. I love the beach but I don't go there often because there is no beach near me x

Thank you so much, I really do appreciate your lovely words. Oh no! If only everyone could live within a 10 mile radius of a beach!
Deletelove your dress, and great photos!

Thank you! <3
DeleteBeautiful photos. Beautiful you and friends! I know what you mean about the beach. I've mostly lived near the shore but never right on the beach as I do now. Also mostly lived in warm, sunny climates. Before sunrise this morning, I opened my bedroom window, got back into bed, and listened to the surf while my room filled with the fragrance of night-blooming jasmine. Heaven!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That sounds so perfect. We catch the sunrise here on our coast, it's such a beautiful sight and makes early morning wake up calls much better!
DeleteThat beach looks positively lovely :) You're so lucky to have that near you, I'd love to live near the beach- so relaxing! Hope you're well

It is! Even if there are several naked people strolling around! If I'm ever far from the sea for too long, I feel incomplete!
DeleteThis looks like such a fun time! Such beautiful photos. I totally wish I was on a beach right now LOL

Thank you Lauren :) Oh don't we all?!
DeleteAww, this looks like such a fun day! The rocky beach looks so beautiful, but I'm sure it would have been nice to have real sand to lay on. Also, I love your top! I've been kind of obsessed with buffalo skull designs lately.

Thank you! Yes it would have been, there is a sandy beach about a mile up the coast but it's always so busy so we went to the stoney bit instead! Thank you, me too!
DeleteUgh, I want to live by the beach. Your pictures are too pretty and your outfit is adorable. I love your sunglasses also! xxx

ReplyDeleteHayley, I absolutely LOVE your photos! Very creative, and you are just gorgeous ;) I'm glad you got to step away from home to get some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteYou and I would be two peas in a pod if we could live somewhere exotic! I'm stuck in the rainy city of Vancouver BC. We get 3 months of awesome warm weather, and after that? It rains!
