In the middle of February there is nothing to do but dream about the beach in the summer. Yet I was down at the Jersey shore last month and spent time at Long Beach Island, Seaside Heights, Ortley Beach and Lavallette. It was cold! Of course the worst part is the cold biting wind. You feel like parts of you will just crack or shatter.
Besides that part of it, the Jersey shore is of course always lovely. In some ways things are just more pristine – cleaner, quieter, more memories bubbling up of summer at the beach and you just have more room to think.
Anyway I can’t wait until it gets warm and I get to go to the beach in my shorts – rather than wrapped up like the mummy!
