We're going to the beach!
OK. So the weather could be better (it could be worse!) but we're off to the beach all the same. The girls need a blast of fresh air, the dog needs a good walk and I need to replenish my driftwood and shell supplies so I can create more mirrors to sell and raise some cash for Christmas!

Goodbye to British summertime
Time to get creative now the nights are truly drawing in! The clocks went back this morning and we are facing the prospect of long winter evenings in front of the fire preceded by long walks in the countryside and by the sea. Fantastic fun!
Following an action-packed afternoon, last week, with a dozen or so kids making driftwood mirrors I now need to stock up on supplies. They have depleted my vast driftwood and shell supplies, particularly the smaller winkle shells which are just perfect for filling in the little gaps on my frames. The kids were completely absorbed in their activity and the results were magnificent (I'll post some pictures in due course). So, I've got a beach combing session scheduled for tomorrow, weather permitting, with my two girls and crazy Cocker Spaniel, Simla. Can't wait!
