Easter hunting


Easter brings daffodils to York in plenty, and each year we try and remember to take the annual photos. This year a rather naughty bunny got in the photos......



Easter also brings a few welcome days off for hubby, so off we went in search of sun and sea and relaxation........


E thinks the sea must be around here somewhere, we didn't have the heart to tell him the sea is usually down!



we did find cream teas, good old fashioned seaside teas, in hearty big pots, and mugs. no fancy rose patterned tea cups here!



we found wellies, must be getting nearer,



and a mermaid, they're usually at the seaside I think.....



kinder eggs contents distract us from the sea hunt for a while,


until finally we find the sea, hidden under a swathe of sea fret.



there's a lovely little bay just round the corner here, honestly there is



and a magnificent cliff path descending down to the shore



and as for the view of the sea, just startling isn't it.

what you can't see it?

too foggy............

oh and I just thought my eyes had gone funny because I ate too much chocolate......

  3. Hi Tess
    What lovely pictures! I love the naughty rabbit pic, and love the mermaid sculpture too! Didn't you know that eating too much chocolate makes you blind? It must be a pleasure thing x

  5. Great photos--even the foggy ones! Is there such a thing as too much chocolate? I know there is such a thing as not enough chocolate--I suffer from that!

  6. Oh, my, I think that little getaway brought out the mischief maker in you, girlie!

    Love the wellie window, love the mermaid...and that bunny looks naughty indeed!!

    Glad you're back safe and sound. And since my word verif is "nessess," I believe it is a sign that chocolate is a necessity...

  10. you just sent me straight back to University in my head with those York shots.

    I've forgotten the daffs though. Were they even there in 1988, or has my memory become even more shot than I previously believed?
