Comments on: Beach babes http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/beach-babes/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:45:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mutterings & Meanderings http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/beach-babes/#comment-830 Mutterings & Meanderings Thu, 13 Sep 2007 20:06:58 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/beach-babes/#comment-830 It does indeed sound marvellous. You're never too old to go to the beach. The father of one of my mum's friends swam in the North Sea every day and he made it well into his 80s. It does indeed sound marvellous.

It sounds divine. One should be able to keep going to the beach until one is physically incapable of doing so. I remember a conversation with my mother-in-law a few years ago. Her heath (physically)- with arthritis, and hip and knee ops that didn't give optimum results because she is carrying a lot of weight - finally contrived against her to the point that she realised she couldn't even walk on the sand, let alone go in the surf for a dip. She was really choked up and teary at that realisation. And I felt really really sad for her. Of course, he was just jealous he couldn’t go… It sounds divine.

Sounds lovely, though. I think it’s all down to the guilt we need to assuage when we’re doing something that children seem to ‘own’. Sounds lovely, though.
