Seaside Postcards

 Hello!...I'm back again...after a few lovely days of sea air and sunshine, I have tipped the seashells out of my bag and shaken the sand from my shoes ready to begin normal life again....hello to all my regular blog readers and hello to the new followers who joined me here just as I was about to go away for a few days, I look forward to visiting you all very soon.....
 We went to some of our very favourite coves, cliffs, beaches and villages on the south west coast......
 ....places we've enjoyed visiting all our lives and this time we had the added pleasure of lots and lots of sunshine and blue sky....
 ...I had quite a lazy few days, did a bit of sketching for some new illustration work and thinking about a new book plan...but lazy hooky time on the shingly or sandy beaches was my main crafty activity and the pile of grannie squares has grown a lot more.....we walked miles, visited gardens and craft fairs and had more than one Devon cream tea...
 ....we also sampled a few of these...as a small child I was surprised at the relative size of the cornets I received compared to the ones on display outside the shop and I have a fondness for the oversized retro advertising icecreams to this day...
                   Some seaside crochet...inspired by the colours of bright stripy seaside rock.....

I hope you have been enjoying sunny summer days too, and I can't wait to catch up with all your blogs now. Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post and for your good wishes for my little break. It's good to be back in blogland again!! I hope you all have a happy weekend and see you again soon xxxxx
