My parents are retired and live in an apartment with an open view on the beach of Middelkerke. You wake up and have breakfast with a sea view. On a sunny day, they enjoy a beer or a bottle of wine on their own terrace. The dog has always fun running on the beach. The sandy strip is wide and some areas are covered with thousands of small shells and stones. The sea is calm and the breakwaters are visited by large seagulls. Sometimes little crabs and shrimp get trapped on the breakwater and they are an easy prey for the water birds. Do you want to wake up with that view?
Mijn ouders zijn op pensioen en wonen in een appartement met open zicht op het strand van Middelkerke. Je wordt wakker en ontbijt met zicht op zee. Op een zonnige dag genieten ze van een biertje of een fles wijn op hun eigen terras. De hond heeft altijd plezier aan zijn wandelingen op het strand. Op de brede zandstrook zijn gedeeltes volledige bedekt met duizenden schelpen en kleine steentjes. De zee is kalm en golfbrekers krijgen bezoek van vele grote meeuwen. Soms raken kleine krabben of garnalen gevangen tussen de rotsen en zijn ze een gemakkelijke prooi voor de zeevogels. Wil je niet wakker worden met zo’n uitzicht?.

Yes! i love water views. So relaxing. That beach is a dog's paradise!
ReplyDeletethe dog looks so cute and is in heaven, enjoying everything and the shells.
ReplyDeleteTat would be nice. Exploring the shells and the birds would be fun too. Taking that gorgeous puppy for a walk would be nice as well. I don't like the architecture of the block of apartments though.
ReplyDeleteShould be "That". Sorry.

I have always dreamed of living at a place with such a view! The view and sounds are soothing and beautiful. Your parents are lucky! Seems like lots of fog, but to be expected when living by the ocean. Looks hard to walk on the beach with so many shells.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great view - but I wouldn't swap my dowunder holiday shack view in OZ for it!! There's nothing quite like the sound of the sea ...
