This is my photo for Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge – the theme this week is Solitude.
It is of Brighton beach – I took it ages ago when I went there with my hubby for a weekend away. So I wasn’t alone, but the beach was pretty deserted. Just me and my man! This photo really captured a moment of solitude to me, as I stared out to the ocean and surrendered my thoughts to the power of the sea. It is never to be taken for granted, the sea is a mighty force, even on Brighton seafront!
If I had to be alone anywhere it would be beside the sea.

On Saturday I will be featuring Brighton in my #WeekendCoffeeShare post so do keep an eye out for that…….
Also I’d like to mention that the first few chapters of my novel, The Curse of Time are now on Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/67166165-the-curse-of-time
Thanks to everyone who has visited me on Wattpad and tweeted about it, I really do appreciate it.
Before I go I’d just like to ask: Do you love the sea too? Do you have a favourite seaside town? Happiest beach memory?
Bye for now,

Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

This makes me slightly homesick for Brighton, having just moved from there. However, we’ll soon have our new house by the sea so we can walk along the beach with Toby again.
Thanks for featuring Brighton in my photo challenge this week Marje. It’s always lovely to see photos of scenes you actually been in.
I look forward to reading your weekend coffee post.

Oh, no problem, Marje. We had to make the move anyway and we’re very happy down here in Wales. We’ll certainly visit Brighton again.

I love the drama in your photos, Marje. The waves crashing in and the bubbling sea! I agree, the sea is a very powerful force. I love watching its story unfolding.

My husband and I once went to stay in Brighton for a few days between Christmas and New Year – the beaches were pretty much deserted except for us, but the waves were stupendous! Perfect solitude 🙂

Yes, the combination of quietness and the crashing of the sea is phenomenal!

Brighton beach… how beautiful…
I like when beaches are deserted probably because it is off-season time…
I have always think of the sea as a symbol of infinity and maybe as a reflection of the soul…
By the way, as it is National Poetry Month, there is a poem by Camus called `L´homme et la mer´ in which he has pretty much depicted all this….
All the best to you, Aquileana 🙂
