Beach Hut Life


 
 
 
 
 
 
 





She goes, she is, she wakes the waters
primed in their wave-form, a flux of urge
struck into oneness, the solid surge
seeking completion, and strikes and shatters
 
and is its fragments, distinction’s daughters
and now, unholding, the cleave and merge
the hew and fusing, plundering the verge
and substance is the scheme it scatters
 
and what it numbers in substantial sun.
Her hands hold many or her hands hold none.
And diving the salt will kiss a convex eye
 
and be salt fact and be the bodied sky
and that gray weight is both or beggared one,
a dead dimensional, or blue begun.

Portraits of me taken by my Mum on my little digital camera while we had lunch together at our beach hut, other photos taken by me. 
As Mr Eve and I live near to my folks, every summer we all share the cost to rent this little hut at a nearby beach.

  1. Very jealous you are at the beach. Lovely photos! (and poem - inspired choice for the images) Where are you? I think I have been here - right on this same stretch with all these colourful boat houses.

  2. How nicely warm and happy you look and how great to be able to enjoy the colors of the ocean, the hut colors and show some skin against the bright sun!
    I would love to see Mr. Eve, your folks and the inside of the hut...maybe next time?

  4. Ooooh, a beach hut! I'm all tears in my eyes emotional, and I can't imagine why...perhaps I had a beach hut in a previous life. It just looks so romantic and magical, and English seaside. {Sigh} And you my darling, you look the perfect ingenue in your red gingham and yellow breton. Sometimes I think we could be sisters.

  7. Oh, I miss the sea! I've just finished reading the Fortnight In September and it poppped into my mind because the family in that rent a hut on the beach.

  8. wow, you look so 40s/50s with this outfit and in this lovely scenery!

  9. Can't show this post to my husband, because if he should be my stylist he would give me exactly that outfit (and I know that I don't look good in trausers, but you really do!).

  10. Ahh, to be by the sea, that would be lovely... I love this alternative version of a nautical look with different colours, very 1950s/ Audrey Hepburn, and so pretty! xxx

  11. Feeling envious :) It is soooo nice to spend time at the place like this, watching the sea waves and walking along the pebble beach. You look super pretty and sexy in your simple outfit.

  12. Was your outfit planned to match the beach hut and parasol so beautifully, or was it serendipity? Either way, it's a stunning combination of you plus backdrop that evokes 'British seaside' to perfection.

  13. Wonderful images, I love how you've matched your ensemble to the umbrella and the chairs. The combination of that gorgeous beach, your pastel outfit and the huts looks picture perfect.

  14. What a beautiful hut, the perfect back-drop for the incredible you, so jealous of the warm weather...Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog xxx

  15. This is absolutely gorgeous! So quaint and lovely and would bring out the poet in just about anyone. I love it. My husband's family has beach cabanas, but they aren't quite so picturesque! These are amazing and you look like you belong in a postcard...

  18. Oh, I'd love to have a beach hut!
    What fun pictures, and a perfect outfit for a day at the beach.

  19. What a joy!! The ocean, people you love, pebbles to collect, and breezes to savor. You look like a gorgeous pin-up girl of the early '40's, before you're discovered by Hollywood. Just perfect!!!

  20. I agree with Jean, you do look like a gorgeous pin-up girl!...The pants are just perfect. Great photos and beautiful colors.

  23. Oh, these photo's are stunning. They are a vintage summer delight. I am terribly in love with the beach huts, I haven't seen these before but what a brilliant idea and just a photo perfect setting. You, my dear, add to this background the elegance and charm of the century.

  29. The beach hut concept is brilliant. Functional yet colorful, and perfect for time at the beach. You do beach holiday as beautifully as you do the other settings that delight the senses. Love Kiki's scarf on your summer hat!

  30. Beautiful poem. Love that you tucked it in to this lovely post (the beach huts in a colorful, intimate row...like a fairy tale). Your outfit (ah, a hat!!!) is inspiring, breezy, sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  31. You are simply so fabulous. Beautiful clothes and location, and I love that Beth Orton song!

  32. Oh you lucky duck! I love beach huts, I think I'd expire with excitement to go in one!
    Your outfit is so sweet, you've a bod to die for and legs that go on for ever! xxx

  33. Ah, I#d love one of those huts as well! Lovely combo with the pants and that cute shirt! Great, suptle pattern mixing!

  34. Great style for a stylish leasure time at a stylish place!

  35. How very marvelous! I adore the seaside holiday culture that abounds in parts of the UK. Here in Canada, though people do certainly flock to the ocean and lakes alike the moment the mercury starts to shoot up, (by and large) we've never really had the same kind of long standing tradition with taking seaside vacations that exists in your lovely land (here we tend to head off into the woods to go camping, nestle in cottages on the lake, or traverse the endless stretches of highway on road trips all season).
