Before the Crowds Descend


It is going to become rarer and rarer to find the beach empty between now and September.



So before the crowds and tourists descend onto our little haven in this part of the UK ...



...here are some recent photos of our weekly jaunts to the beach.



No pearls were found - what a shame there will be no putting my feet up this summer!


Splash! This is a great game played with unsuspecting friends - ask to take their photo at high tide on a windy day, just before a big wave crashes against the sea wall!! A few friends (and family) have fallen foul to our naughty little trick - sorry!


Jaunty coloured beach huts...


...come in lots of different shapes and shades!


Shell hunting is a great game to entertain the little ones, especially if you can find some with holes and an old discarded fishing line to thread them onto and make necklaces, bracelets and all manner of decoration. We have ours strung up in the garden as wind chimes and to scare the birds off the veg patch!


Rip Curl - well kind of!



TFI it's Friday!! Have a good one - I think we are heading back down to the beach again this weekend, so if you're passing stop by and say 'hello'...


...you are bound to find us down there - somewhere! xox.

Have a spiffy weekend at the beach! I'm in love with that pink and green striped hut, it looks like ice cream. It's official, I'm becoming a food obsessive!, jusx
