beach weather....

After 4 days of rainy skies we awoke to a rather chilly but perfectly clear day. Just right for doing all of the washing  that had been put on hold while it poured....or not!
Rose suggested that we should head on down to the beach and as I was looking for any excuse to not tackle that washing, off we went.
Obviously everyone else had decided to stay home and be industrious so we had the whole of Fairlight beach and pool to ourselves.....although  the water was a little brisk, we dipped our toes in and had a paddle. Rose just doesn't feel the cold so she took off the layers I had insisted she wear ( because if I'm cold, Rose has to put on a jumper!).

We collected shells, built a rather wobbly sandcastle and Rose played "sand angels".......

making patterns with pretty holey shells beats hanging out underwear any day of the week!

Not much in the finished craft department this week. Making some progress on my toys....

And during down time when my brain is too mushy to concentrate I knitted a very simple washcloth - plain and straightforward but out of the most wonderful organic cotton....

And finally I have appleseed up and running...well almost. The blog is set up and hopefully by the weekend there will be a little more to talk about.....have a peek when you get time and let me know what you think.....

Appleseed looks fantastic! I can't wait to see what you have on Friday.
I also love the pics taken down at Fairlight. I used to live at the top of Woods Parade, and we often used to go down there in winter to spend a day at our own private beach. It looks like you had a ball!
