Sand and sea

I find the end of January and the beginning of February a hard time of year.  The festivities are over, the weather is nothing to write home about, and spring seems such a long way off.  So I was delighted to receive this card just the other day to remind me of summer.  I'm not normally a beach person, in fact I'd prefer to visit a beach in winter, but this certainly lifted my spirits.

Sardegna, or Sardinia, is the second largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after Sicily.  Like Sicily, it is an autonomous region of Italy and , again like Sicily, has its own distinct language.

I was looking for something to say about this particular beach (other than make a comment about its name) when I found an article saying that it is "set on a suggestive gorge".  Not so long ago someone thanked me for sending such a suggestive postcard.  I was really concerned that somehow I'd unintentionally offended but the card was truly just a landscape.  It dawned on me that it could be a translation issue, so this time I knew - "suggestivo" in Italian can also mean evocative or striking.  Quite a relief!
