TURNER

We visited Margate recently, as we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It's not too far from London, and we hear it's all kicking off.

Whereas I don't think I am ready to leave London just yet, I definitely felt a rumble there. It was really refreshing to see this seaside town redeveloping, and at the forefront of it was the Turner gallery- pictured below.

Just wonderful

WHALE

In Brighton, they were in the process of erecting a Whale Graveyard, as part of the annual Whalefest (yes this is a thing!). Each cross represents a whale or dolphin, that has died in captivity.

From birds eye view, or from the promenade, it is shaped as a killer whale and it's calf. Heartbreaking, and inspiring

SEA

I moved to london when I was 18. And had taken the sea for granted my whole life. We were a short drive from some of the most stunning British landscapes, but didn't really appreciate their power or beauty till I had left.

So every time we come to Newcastle I always make sure we make it to the coast. It instantly makes me calmer and feels like I can actually breathe. I love London, it's one of the most exciting cities in the world, but I think it's important to get your "countryside/ seaside" fix too! To recharge batteries and to remind us there are forces of nature that dwarf us and any technologies. Their beauty and significance often gets over looked in the fast paced bubble of the metropolis, and it's easy to see why. It's as if you leave the city and stand in front of the sea and it instantly slows you, silences you and forces you to stop, even for a minute.
