Now you know I follow you on Twitter don't you?! (@Williams13Anne).<br /><br />As for paradise...I think it's personal, don't you? Mine is Goa - I work all hours God sends in a pressurised job, and that's the only place I've ever found where I can totally switch off from the moment I step off the plane. Home,and all the petty day to day nonsense, immediately disappears amid decisions on which pool to lie by, is it worth a few hours on the beach, or where do we eat tonight.

It was early morning, September, steam rising from the water, the ferry wending it's way between small uninhabited islands with sandy beaches and pine trees going down to the water. At Deer Island we got off the ferry and drove, just a little way, to a beach - parked the car and started walking. No sound except the water lapping the sand, the wind in the trees, and birdsong. No footprints on the sand except ours. So wonderful; a real paradise moment.Mrs Mac.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13169786083907144694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-78588626452646172502013-03-26T12:18:24.075+00:002013-03-26T12:18:24.075+00:00Thanks for this lovely comment Angi.

Sometimes it's a place; more often it's the people you are with. Occasionally it's solitude.<br />One paradise moment for me was the peace of a Welsh hillside, where I lay sprawled in the late-summer sunshine watching small birds flitting between the reedbeds below me. There was a slight breeze, carrying the sounds of distant sheep and the smell of fresh-cut grass. As always I had a camera and notebook, but the most vivid words and pictures are memories.<br />AngiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057010418701934571.post-26010571255084486412013-03-26T11:03:29.058+00:002013-03-26T11:03:29.058+00:00Thanks for this lovely comment Joan.

Better still is that I can take my family and Kindle with me, lie in the warm embracing sunshine, revel in the abundant underwater coral habitats, swim in clear turquoise seas and gaze at birdlife and scenery that is truly clean and unspoilt.....pure natural beauty, peacefully cleansing to my inner self. This has to be my very favourite of many 'paradise' experiences.Joan Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02906531561491585253noreply@blogger.com
