I live next to a beach and have great views of the sea
My father purchased this house for Julie and I as a wedding gift
It is a nice white house with ribbon balconies and a hidden sun terrace
Where Julie and her friends can sunbathe privately
I actually favour the beach as it is full of many interesting things
There are millions of different pebbles and the sea glass is quite prolific
Add to that the remains of the war time defences and the occasional coin found
Then it is easy to see why I favour the beach above our hidden sun terrace
I have yet to find any sea glass on the terrace or any traces of the war
The only thing I have recently found was Caroline’s bikini top
Which I wish I had not found as Caroline is a large woman
I am often told that I am lucky man with a large beach side house
Along with a beautiful uninhibited wife and her equally uninhibited friends
But all I really want to do is collect fossils and make bracelets from sea glass
Although my life may seem idyllic to others
It is far from that
My life is a brittle life
It is life full of sorrows
C’ est une vie sauvage
