Out of season

We took a little family stroll along Curium beach.  It’s kind of nice this time of year, but the weather can be a bit of a lottery.  In fact it was around 20°C, so I suppose it’s churlish of me to suggest it was cold, but with the brisk breeze blowing off the sea, it certainly felt chilly, my god, how soft we have become!

We walked along the front of Chris’ Blue Beach café, all shut up and deserted, but quite a number of locals and visitors were using it as a sort of boardwalk promenade and just setting up their deck chairs to take advantage of some rays, despite the chilly breeze.

We enjoyed our stroll, not withstanding having to keep doubling back to recapture Lara every time she decided to wander!  She loves exploring and especially enjoys steps, which since she is not really proficient on them yet, makes for a bit hard work.  She always wants to go first up, then down, then back up and often squeals when you lift her up to move on.

Kyle was happily running, climbing and shell hunting and even put in an appearance every now and again with us!  We only really made it as far as Chris’ before heading back to the Kourion café, where the car was parked.  We had originally only intended to stop there for a drink, but by now I was starting to get peckish and so we had a small bite to eat there, which was very nice indeed.

I had hoped that the wind might have died off a bit, so I could attempt a flight, but it was clearly quite strong, so we didn’t even stop for a second look, but just headed home.  In fact I did fly later on, but not from Curium, rather from Kensington, but that’s a story for a different blog!  I did however capture the following sunset photo looking straight down our street as I arrived home about 5ish:
