Hampton Beach

Yesterday we drove to Hampton Beach to see the Master Sand Sculpting Competition. It took about an hour to get there and the sculptures were absolutely beautiful.

First place went to this sculpture entitled "Continuum", by Carl D. Jara from Ohio.

This one entitled "Chaos & Order", by Karen Fralich from Canada was my favourite.

Unfortunately after the serenity of the beach I left in Australia, this beach was a nightmare! It wasn't just the wall to wall people that got to me. The day was hot and windy, the sand grey and gritty and the water felt like ice.

By the time we left for home I was feeling quite frazzled and some neurological symptoms had started to kick in. Fortunately, I had my Oxygenator in the car, so was able to go on oxygen for the drive home. 

Today I spent the morning in bed, drifting in and out of sleep. The rest of the day I have been resting on the recliner in the lounge and am feeling quite OK now.

PS -  My Flipstick came in handy, I used it to sit on a few times and even walked down onto the sand with it.
