Oh, I do like to be...
The Guardian travel supplement majored on the seaside this weekend. I might have been deterred from reading the lead article about the Oregon coast by the headline, which made it all sound too cool and hip for words, but I was drawn in by a beautiful photo of a beach, all artfully placed rocks and flat, pale blue waves. The articles's well written, too (even if the author can't help mentioning her boyfriend's band once or twice...).
A few pages on, there's a walk on the Amalfi coast, which sounds wonderful if at times a bit steep - and looking for the description online I found an interesting piece about the Amalfitan lemon growerss: walking through lemon groves has a certain charm. Here's the holiday company's description of the walk.
(And here, for reference, is the walk they offer in Slovenia, described as easy walking, through wine country and taking you to Trieste, a city that intrigues me for no better reason than its location).
The immediate prospect, though, is of seaside walking closer to home: we have just booked a short holiday on the Fife Coastal Path in early October. The minute we made the booking, it started to rain, and has been showery ever since, but I don't care. Which may just mean that I am being ridiculously optimistic...
