She sells sea shells by the sea shore

I have this theory that I was in fact a sailor in a past life!
Ever since I was a wee little girl wearing frilly dresses and SHINY SHOES ONLY!, I always enjoyed walking down the street to the lighthouse and blowhole to enjoy the salty seaside air with dreams of periscopes, cawing gulls and all things nautical. Every time I visit Kiama for one reason or another (today - passing through en route to a geography field trip), my heart yearns a little for my home and a small piece of my heart breaks off and settles down on the sand, waiting for me to return.
