Yes, it was a sandy beach, great for swimming.
I honestly think that going away to a warm climate and returning to the cold is the worst thing ever. I would probably recommend (for those living in the UK) to go on a holiday in the summertime, since you never quite know if you'll get a day of sunshine, but at least, it will still be warm when you return.
Turkey, Istanbul in particular is a destination on my bucket list.
I'm anxiously waiting for sunshine it's just November and there's been a noticeable dip in the temperature these last few days 😏
Wishing you a lovely week ahead too:)))
