Loved by the sea

I start this blog with a quote from the book ' Summer of my life ', written by Yvette Manessis Corporo (Publisher Luitingh-Sijthoff).
“The sea never judged her; it only welcomed her and even invited her.
It didn't matter to the sea that Daphne's worn swimsuit was too big because it was irretrievably stretched by the new curves of her cousin Popi. She didn't care that even now, thousands of miles away from the restaurant, Daphnes had the vague, persistent smell of fat.
None of that matter here. The sea baptized her every summer and made everything new, fresh, clean.”
