Rain DID NOT Stop Play

The weather yesterday was abysmal, overcast cold and drizzle on and off all day.  We had planned to work in the garden but that was a non starter so we went to the Mumby Church table top sale and picked up some real bargains which can be seen on my previous post.  We dropped Mum off and visited with Dad for awhile and then decided to go down to the beach.  We are blessed  there is a local beach that has a car terrace.  At Huttoft  you don't need to leave the car, a flask was made of hot chocolate and off we went.

This is the view out of the window at the front, the top picture with drizzle.

 

The sea was quite calm when you consider the weather.  This is the view from the rear window, the sand dunes.

 

The drizzle didn't stop the fishermen, they were bringing in quite a haul.

 

 

It was fun to watch them for a little while.  We were making the most of the isolation the local caravan parks have now reopened for the season and we are expected a large influx of holidaymakers for Easter weekend.

 

 

 

Back home, I managed to sit and crochet for awhile, finishing the lap blanket for Dad.

 

 

It was nice to be able to go shopping in my craft room for some bits and pieces to finish it off as a gift. 

Drum roll please...

 

Already for the cold season.  I have started another one, they really are such a quick and easy make.  The garden can wait for another day.

 

A warm welcome to new followers I hope you find something you enjoy on my adventures through life.  Thank you for all your warm and encouraging comments, your thoughts are always appreciated.  Take care.

 

See you soon.

Spring Madness

Spring is finally in the air...the wall has been re-built,  some progress has been made in the garden both here and down at my parents home and although cold the sun is shining.  Signs of Spring can be seen in the house, with the odd bunny appearing here and there.

 

There has been one or two sightings of speckled eggs, which are a delight.

 

 

The odd tree seems to have sprouted.

 

 

Even the dog is curious.  There seems to be eggs appearing all over the house.

 

 

I am taking a wild guess but I think Spring is certainly on its way.

 

Work continues on bandanas for Hector with a couple of Christmas ones made to be put in the gift drawer.

 

 

I have also made a start on some bibs for the new baby when she deems to make her arrival.

 

 

Finally, my crochet project is a lap blanket for me dear Dad for next Winter using up some of the Arran cakes of loveliness in my stash.

 

 

Is the Easter bunny adorning your home or are the Leprechauns still in residence?

 

See you soon.
