Silent Saturday

A Chip Trip

We went to Lyme Regis this evening to eat fish and chips on the beach.  We took the students to give them a typically English experience!

I know I've shown you the beach huts before but I can't resist their cuteness.

The sign reads "Welcome Friends.  Relatives by appointment"!

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

Quick Update

As it was such a lovely morning, and unusually we had no children, we decided to take a walk.

We went to Branscombe and started at The Masons Arms, where we had the most scrumptious roast beef.  I would thoroughly recommend going there if you're ever in East Devon.  I wish I'd taken a photo of the meal!

We walked along the beach and gazed longingly at the little beach houses in the cliff.

Then I came home and settled on the ever deepening dent in the corner of the couch to carry on with some of my current projects. 

There are some leg warmers for my friend's daughter who has just moved to Edinburgh to study to be A Vet: yes, I am using the Crofters DK again!

And the new Lacy Blanket is coming on, but requires a bit more concentration!

Five motifs done, only 15 to go!

Well, that's all I have time for now.  I'll try and pop back soon as I have some plans for a giveaway hopefully to brighten these short days!

Guess Where I Am!

A Little Jolly to the Seaside

Guess where we went this evening?

After a hard day's work in the garden, planting up my colander amongst other things, no-one felt like cooking, so off we went.

Off to the seaside for some fish and chips.

Have you guessed where we went yet?  It's just over the border into wildest Dorset.

I once walked out to the end of this for a bet during a storm, in a black cape, in the middle of the night!  A bit like someone in a film once.

I love these street lights. 

Morse solved a case here once I think.  At least I'm sure I've read a book with him staying in a sea front hotel.  Can't remember the tv programme though.

Isn't this door just amazing?

A little girl called Mary Anning became famous when she discovered the first complete Ichthyosaurus near here.

Got it yet?

Marathon Runner was rather taken with the name of this place.

Couldn't resist another picture of these dinky little beach huts.

I used to come here a lot with my first boyfriend!  Now that's a long time ago!

Why is there always a big hill?  So much up when you're so full of chips!

I'm sure all you clever peeps have realised that I was in Lyme Regis!  The only trouble with going in the evening is that all the shops are shut!!  (Marathon Runner breathes a sigh of relief!)
