OCEANS // Hillsong United

There’s no finer view on the planet. Sitting there on a warm beach, looking out over a deep blue sea as it reflects the glorious warmth of the sun. Or, if you’re holidaying in the UK, a tyre, a shopping trolley and the Isle of Wight ferry.

CASTLES IN THE SKY // Ian Van Dahl

I have never really understood the attraction of a sandcastle. I mean, why would I go to such effort to build something up to a dramatic height before watching it crash to the ground? Who do you think I am, a talent show judge?

CRUEL SUMMER // Bananarama

Beaches are lovely, as long as the weather isn’t mean. Not that this stops us stubborn Brits. ‘Can you help me get the wrapper off my ice cream? It’s tough wearing these gloves.’
