We decided to tackle our cabin fever head on today, helped by a healthy dose of sunshine and blue sky. We put the dogs in the car and went up north to Rattray. We struck off the highway at a small sideroad that continually got smaller and smaller. Just when we thought it couldn't get smaller we arrived at the carpark.
We spent a lovely afternoon walking over the dunes and across the wide beaches. They just stretched on forever, and there was no one to be seen. Maybe it was just a reflection of the sky, but the North Sea seemed bluer than I had ever seen it.
All the beach walking was good practice for us, as we've just booked a week in the Canary Islands in March. It's all a little last minute, but we've got a nice all inclusive at a good price and we're really looking forward to a relaxing week, lying in the sun, catching up on our reading and napping. Hopefully the beaches are similar to what we saw today, but a few (many) degrees warmer.
