As I had spent most of the day indoors yesterday I decided to take a walk down to the beach in the evening. I made up a small flask and took a small towel so that I could walk along at the waters edge. It was lovely to see black headed gulls as it is unusual on the North bay, well, during the day anyway. Not that I mind the herring gulls at all, I haven't lived here long enough for them to annoy me.

I sat on some steps at the Sea Life end of the North bay and the beach was really quite deserted for a July evening at about 6.30 pm.

I was talking of herring gulls, and one on the beach stood out as it had such a dark body colour, they are generally a fairly light grey.

There was a speed boat pulling a dingy with someone on it behind I think, looked like they were having a lot of fun!

Today I went into town and then made my way to the studio. spent over three hours on the dragon, and could have done more but have called it a day. I should be glazed and fired by the end of the week.
