Rest and recreation
Even part-time writers need a break for rest and recreation occasionally! So, what fitted the bill for me? A week in Croatia, along the Dalmatian coast.
Sunshine – warmth, deep blue skies, stunning sunsets.
Beauty – crystal clear seas, shady walks, waterfalls.
Tranquillity – secluded parks, pretty islands, still waters.
History – medieval streets, ancient buildings.
Distraction – exploring, learning about a very different way of life from local guides enthusing about the cities they love.
Amusement!
Switching off – forgetting for a few days the news, current issues, responsibilities.
Just what the doctor ordered.
Oh, and a suspenseful book that leant itself to occasional perusal in spare moments, holding my interest for the week: Along Came a Spider – introducing psychologist/detective Alex Cross.
