“Ship Ahoy”

February 9, 2020March 6, 2020 ~ Chiddicks Family Tree ~ 18 Comments

I have always had a close affinity with the Sea, I am at my most happiest when I am walking along an empty beach, with the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Come rain or shine, Winter or Summer, a walk along the beach is one of the most pleasurable feelings. Even better when … Continue reading “Ship Ahoy”
