The Smell of Hot Sand

It was a lovely day in Co. Waterford yesterday, until about 5pm when the grey clouds came in.

I went to Bunmahon, intending to swim but there was a mean breeze right off the sea which made me reconsider as I am a coward for all things cold.   

Instead I lay on the sand which was dry and hot and let the warmth soak into me and remembered how much I love the smell of hot sand.
