This is the deck of our cabin, complete with pew. We arrived last night.
Hamish is on his holidays and we joined him. He doesn’t have a voice but still everything on his wish list for holiday destinations is met, so his non voice is the loudest of us all.
We had to find a dog friendly self-catering house as hotels were out. I looked for a remote location, so there was space to play ball around the property without neighbours being on top of us. He likes the water and this year it wasn’t sand but pebbles so less clean up (OK that was for us!) Sometimes you have to listen to your dog because he picked a lovely place. It’s truly a ‘get away from it all’ place as the nearest supermarket is 40 mins away, and no local place to buy milk! Sitting having a meal outside when we arrived, listening to the gentle lapping of the water is the most relaxing sound there is and caused immediate relaxation.

Sorry about the tub of tomatoes, sometimes you don't think when taking a photo, but the view was good! The local sockeye salmon, never frozen was really good. I've never tasted salmon like it - deeper, stronger flavour than the normal light pink (probably previously frozen) salmon that I am used to. With a creamy, tarragon fresh pasta sauce, all so quick to make - dinner in 15 mins.
We are on the Puget sound so the ocean is tempered by the time it reaches the cabin so it’s not as noisy as last year being at the ocean and also it doesn’t have the mist that comes with it.
Early morning on the beach beside the cabin, it's quiet! I haven’t seen one person on the beach, so far it’s wonderful and Hamish is loving it.
Sometimes in our lives it’s hard to make time ‘to be still and know I am God’ but even when we can’t, we can still do that in a very busy environment – just close your eyes. When we do get the opportunity to do so, it’s good to be alone even in a locked bedroom or if like me on holiday – make the most of it.
God’s voice is the quietest as it often is the voice that is drowned out by our own wishes or what is going on around us. May we concentrate on God’s voice so His will always be the loudest of us all, as we seek to hear Him and look to Him and what He wants us to do.
Hopefully I will post tomorrow or the next day, there is a canoe so we'll see how brave I can be - mmm.
