For the first time in ages I managed to find time to go for a walk this weekend.

It was still a little chilly out, but with the sun shining bright and hinting at spring just round the corner, it was great to be outside - I felt invigorated and ready for what this week might throw at me.

Much like I imagine this surfer feels after riding the (chilly) waves off the coast of Wales at this time of year!
