holiday highlights




whilst the rest of the family hunted fossils, I hunted anemones.



we walked the beach route to Port Mulgrave



and marvelled at the blue skies



and climbed the cliff path and marvelled that we were right down there








and whilst this is what some people wanted to do on the beach




this was much more my style.....

  13. Love the beach pictures, lush and I really hope that is the sleeve of a jumper because it promises to be so cool. Can't wait to find out.

  17. I am truly hoping that is a sock. It is a total work of art. I have the wanties, seriously badly. Oh and the beach looks quite good too. Welcome home Missus. Ax

  18. It all looks so beautiful. With water that colour, I think I would be knitting rather than swimming too. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result.
